Police Major Elmer Rabano, Deputy Chief of Police of the Antipolo Component City Police Station, stated that the suspect arrived and began verbally abusing the two victims.
“Itong ating suspect bigla pong dumating at pinagmumura po itong ating dalawang victim,” Police Major Rabano stated.
One of the individuals present during the drinking session, identified as alias “Gar”, recounted that the suspect, identified as alias “RR,” 33 years old, appeared to be intoxicated.
“Tinanong po namin siya kung ano ang problema kasi nagsisisigaw. Hindi po nagsasalita, dire-diretso lang po siya. Sabi ko sa kaibigan ko, ‘Hayaan mo na, tropa natin yun.’ Binalewala na lang po namin” Gar explained.
Approximately 20 minutes later, the suspect returned, this time armed with a sumpak. A struggle ensued when one of the victims attempted to seize the weapon. During the altercation, the improvised firearm discharged.
The gunfire resulted in injuries to one of their companions, and Gar sustained a wound to his left shoulder.
“May kutsilyo pa po ‘yan sa likod, ang ginawa niya, winasiwas niya po ‘yun, hanggang sa natumba po ‘yung kaibigan ko na kainuman ko. Gumapang na humihingi po ng tulong,” Gar recalled.
Authorities reported that the suspect fled the scene following the shooting. However, he was apprehended during a follow-up operation at a local hospital.
“Noong nakatakbo siya, tumalon sa tulay, nagtamo ng mga sugat at injury sa kaniyang katawan. Noong nagpapagamot na siya sa ospital, nakilala siya noong ating victim,” Rabano explained.
The suspect admitted to discharging the firearm, but maintained that his intention was merely to intimidate the group.
“Sinumpak ko po sila. Wala po sana akong tatargetin kasi tatakutin ko lang po sana sila. Pagputok ko, nagpambuno po kami. Parang nagdilim po ang paningin ko sa kanila eh,” the suspect stated.
He now faces charges of frustrated h0micide and violations of the Omnibus Election Code. This event has caused concern within the local community.
