Security guard shoots alleged thief

-

A suspected thief was shot and injured by a security guard who caught him leaving the vicinity of the company he is guarding in Cabiangon, Pinamungajan town Monday afternoon.

Romeo Hagonoy, a resident of sitio Bargy in barangay Tajao, is now in critical condition after he was hit in the neck when security guard Wilfredo Sulib opened fire.

Based on the investigation conducted by the Pinamungajan town police, Sulib, a security guard of the Aquatic Trans Development Corporation, saw Hagonoy inside the compound of the company carrying a sack loaded with potatoes, vegetables and flowers.

Sulib ordered Hagonoy to stop but the latter just ignored him, prompting the security guard to fire warning shots with his .12 gauge shotgun.

But still Hagonoy reportedly ignored him and continued to run towards the company's gate, forcing Sulib to shoot and hit the suspected robber.

Hagonoy was immediately brought to the Pinamungajan District Hospital and was later transferred to a hospital in Cebu City while Sulib voluntarily surrendered himself to responding policemen.

Sulib is presently detained at the Pinamungajan Police Station pending the filing of appropriate charges against him. – Florr Z. Perolina/LPM
