A security guard was shot by armed robbers in Ormoc City.

The incident took place around 2 in the early morning when the guard was alerted by a sudden scream.

Based on a report from TV5's 'Frontline Pilipinas Weekend,' the security guard immediately went to check the house where he heard the noise.

To his surprise, he encountered three robbers inside. When he tried to stop them, the suspects shot him.

After the shooting incident, the suspects immediately fled the crime scene.

Thankfully, someone noticed the wounded security guard, that's why he was quickly brought to the hospital for immediate medical attention.

Based on the investigation, the family members who owned the robbed house were sleeping at the time of the incident.

Taken by the robbers were 60,000 worth of jewelry, cellphone, and cash.

Police are now after the suspects who are still at large.

In the Philippines, when a suspect is described as "at large," it means that the person believed to have committed a crime has not yet been arrested or captured by the authorities.

The suspect is still free and possibly hiding or moving from place to place to avoid being caught.

Law enforcement agencies usually continue their investigation and manhunt efforts until the suspect is located and placed under custody.

Being "at large" also means that the suspect may still pose a risk to the public, which is why updates are often shared with the community to help in locating the person.

In a previous report by KAMI, a family of three was mercilessly shot and killed inside their store in Barangay Mallorca, San Leonardo, Nueva Ecija. Caught by CCTV, three men entered their store, closed the roll-up door, and shot the entire family to death. Before fleeing, one of the suspects even grabbed a bag and a mobile phone from the victim. In a report by Gary De Leon of TV 5's 'Frontline Pilipinas,' the family started getting threats after lending P1-M to one of the residents of their barangay; allegedly using the money for business.

In another viral local report, a 51-year-old public school teacher in Las Piñas City was stabbed multiple times by her own husband. According to the report of EJ Gomez in 'Unang Balita,' the 38-year-old suspect committed the crime inside the school's faculty room. Police authorities said the school has a security guard, but, being a familiar face in the school, the suspect managed to easily get in and out of the school. The suspect said he was there to talk to his wife and settle their misunderstanding, but unfortunately, it led to a big arguement.
