Authorities said the victim was rushed to the hospital and remains in critical condition.

Reporters from GMA Regional TV tried to visit the victim’s family, but no one was found at their house.

Investigations are ongoing as police continue to track down the suspect and his brother.

If a person shoots someone and then flees the crime scene, it is treated as a serious criminal act.

The shooter can face charges such as attempted murder, homicide, or murder depending on whether the victim survives.

Leaving the scene makes the situation worse because it shows intent to escape responsibility.

Police will launch a manhunt, gather evidence, and take witness statements to track down the suspect.

Once caught, the person can be jailed while waiting for trial. If proven guilty, the punishment may include long-term imprisonment or even a life sentence, depending on the country’s laws and the gravity of the crime.
