3 dead in Caloocan shooting 

A shooting incident in Caloocan City left three dead and four people injured on Wednesday night, Feb. 15.

According to the initial investigation, the suspect went on a shooting spree and shot whatever he saw.

“Nagkaroon siya ng shooting spree, kung sino ‘yung navi-view niya doon sa terrace niya, yun ‘yung pinagpupuputukan niya kaya ang nakita namin sa area ay ‘yung adjacent niyang barangay, yun ‘yung dead on the spot,” Caloocan Police Sub-Station 4 Commander PMaj. Tessie Lleva said.

Barangay Captain Jerome Sorian said the suspect went to the barangay hall twice prior to the shooting incident to complain about the burning of waste near his home.

The suspect returned to report that someone was taking his picture.

“Nagrereklamo siya regarding sa nagsunog ng konting basura doon sa tabi ng bahay niya. Pinuntahan ko, nagdala ako ng tao sa barangay, pinalinis ko, [at] talaga namang nakita niya, na-satisfy din siya sa ginawa ko,” Soriano said.

“Kaya ang ginawa ng mga kagawad ko, kinomformt siya. Sinabi sa kanya na ‘pabayaan mo na ‘yon, okay na ‘ypn, huwag mo na intindihin ‘yon’. Noong time na ‘yon, medyo talaga, kumbaga ‘yung suspek eh iba na ang isip,” he added.

“Aligaga na raw siya tapos parang hindi – baka hindi na siya makagawa ng hindi maganda, ayon ‘yan sa mga kagawad ko,” he continued.

The suspect peacefully surrendered after authorities entered his home with his relatives.

The suspect is facing three murder charges, four frustrated murder charges, and another charge for illegal firearm and deadly weapon possession. –Reports from Rod Lagusad/KC-ag
