May 16, 2003 | 12:00am
A ranking official of the Northern Police District Office was disarmed and placed under the custody of his immediate superior after he accidentally shot his subordinate inside their quarters Wednesday afternoon in Caloocan City.
Senior Inspector Ferdinand del Rosario, chief of the District Intelligence and Investigation Division (DIID) operations section, is now restricted within the NPDO compound under the supervision of DIID chief, Chief Inspector Rafael Santiago Jr.
"The incident was purely work related," Santiago said.
At about 4 p.m., Del Rosario arrived at their sub-station on Langaray street, Dagat-Dagatan, Caloocan City, the former office of the dissolved District Drug Enforcement Group, after a whole-day surveillance operations.
After a few minutes rest, Del Rosario instructed his subordinate, PO1 Jose Santos, to conduct his own sleuthing operation using his own vehicle. Santos reportedly declined, claiming his vehicle was out of gas.
An exchange of unsavory words followed before Del Rosario reportedly got hold of his gun. This prompted PO1 Roger Giwagiw to immediately intervene and try to pacify the two police officers.
Del Rosarios gun, however, accidentally went off, hitting Giwagiw in the right thigh.Giwagiw was immediately brought to the Tondo General Hospital for treatment and is now out of danger, Santiago said.
"We are now conducting our official investigation. Whatever will be the outcome of this, Im sure that somebody must be sanctioned," he said.DDEG was the scene of another shooting incident last April 2 wherein Superintendent Reynaldo Orante, its former chief, shot dead his subordinate PO3 Eduardo Gaddi in an alleged hostage-taking incident.
