“One of the victims already died so we will upgrade the case we filed this afternoon. We’ll amend it because one of the victims is already dead—the one who was shot in the head and was seen lying on the ground,” Manongdo said.
Meanwhile, the two other victims were identified as alias Patrick and Davis. Patrick sustained a gunshot wound on his right arm, while Davis was hit in the right chest while attempting to pacify the altercation.
Also injured during the incident was the suspect’s wife, according to Antipolo Mayor Jun Ynares III.
Initial investigation showed that 28-year-old suspect “Kenneth” and the victims engaged in a road altercation that escalated into a shooting incident along Marcos Highway in Sitio Calumpang, Barangay San Jose.
Manongdo said the suspect was arrested at a Commission on Elections checkpoint, where they recovered the gun and vehicle he used when he injured the victims.
The Antipolo police chief said Kenneth has a license to own and possess firearms but does not have a permit to carry one amid the election gun ban.
