CEBU – A teenager who was trying to impress his girlfriend by showing her he had a gun accidentally shot himself in the left hand and foot in her house in sitio Kamalig Bato, barangay Taboc, Danao City, last Sunday evening.

The victim was identified as Alejandro Tria, 19, a student and a resident of barangay Licos, Danao City.
