Dumpit to face probe for shooting neighbor

-
City police director Melvin Gayotin said he will order an investigation on SPO1 Adonis Dumpit as his reason for shooting his neighbor Wally Echevarria the other day is "flimsy".

Dumpit was one of those who responded to the alarm that Echevarria was armed with a knife and making trouble in sitio Villagonzalo II, barangay Tejero. Echevarria eventually climbed up the ceiling of a house and held policemen off.

Dumpit called for him to surrender peacefully then shot him in the left leg when he was ignored, a flimsy reason, according to Gayotin, who said they will try to determine if Dumpit acted within the rules of engagement.

Echevarria was arrested and brought to Cebu City Medical Center for treatment. - Delna Lou L. Abellano
