1 dead in separate shooting incidents in Capiz, Iloilo
One person was killed in separate shooting incidents in Capiz and Iloilo.
In Kim Salinas' Monday report on 'Saksi,' a man wearing a helmet was seen running when he suddenly pulled out a gun and fired multiple gunshots at his target, who also returned gunshots.
After the exchange of gunshots, the man left as if nothing had happened.
The shooting incident along a narrow street in Roxas City, Capiz was caught on CCTV on Saturday.
According to the police, the incident possibly stemmed from a conflict involving illegal drugs.
There were no reported casualties.
Authorities are locating the involved persons.
In Pototan, Iloilo, a man was killed in a shooting incident.
According to the victim's brother, alias 'Pula' entered their home looking for their father.
He left when he could not find their father, but later returned with alias 'Tagi' and threatened them.
The family members fled their house, but one of the suspects chased the victim and shot him in the head.
His father said he had no clue why his son was shot.
The family also expressed willingness to file charges against the suspects.
'Wala akong atraso sa kanila. Naninirahan lang kami sa lupa ni Tagi. Tinutulungan lang namin kung ano ang pinapagawa niya,' the father said.
(I have no debts with them. We just live on Tagi's land. We just follow his orders.)
Authorities are investigating the incident.
Tagi surrendered to the police while Pula is still at large.
Tagi refused to comment on the matter. —Mariel Celine Serquiña/LDF, GMA Integrated News
