BACOLOD City – A man was shot by a security guard at Burgos Public Market in Barangay 22.
The 34-year-old Leo Pagayonan of Barangay To-oy, Himamaylan, Negros Occidental was accused of shooting Epraim Anhao, 27, of Barangay Estefania.
Police investigators said prior to the incident, Anhao and his three other companions were “flagged down” around 9:15 a.m. on April 19 for allegedly violating the enhanced community quarantine. However, they ran and allegedly attempted to enter an establishment that prompted security guard Leo Pagayunan to shot Anhao who sustained gunshot wounds on the right shoulder and back.
Anhao was rushed to the Corazon Locsin
Montelibano Memorial Regional Hospital in this city for medical treatment.
Pagayonan, meanwhile, was detained in the
custodial facility of Police Station 4, facing charges./PN
