Businessman nearly loses manhood in gun accident

MANILA, Philippines – A Chinese national nearly lost his manhood when a concealed gun accidentally fired off while about to be frisked by the police early morning Monday in Binondo, Manila.

Jiapeng Chen, 27, a businessman, luckily survived the mishap when the bullet failed to hit but nearly grazed his genitals. The bullet instead tore a gaping hole in his pants. However, Chen’s luck ran out when police found he has no license for the gun and was in possession of a fake driver’s license.

Meisic police station chief Superintendent Nelson Yabut said that at around 2 a.m. he received a report of indiscriminate firing along Sto. Cristo and San Fernando streets in Binondo, as he directed his deputy, Chief Inspector Rizalindo Morales, to conduct verification and inspection in the aforementioned place.

Arriving in the area, Morales and his men were informed by a concerned resident that the alleged shooter was inside a parked black Toyota Camry (XIN-88). Morales also noticed a Chinese-looking man at the wheel fidgety and seemed to be trying to hide something in his body. Morales ordered the man to disembark and when about to be frisked something fell from his waist and fired.

When police checked the fallen object, they discovered it was a .25 caliber pistol. When asked for the gun’s documents, Chen failed to produce any. What he produced was a driver’s license which police said could be fake due to its inferior quality.

Police also recovered a deformed slug from where Chen was standing and an empty shell from a .25 caliber pistol in the driver’s seat indicating that he had recently fired a gun inside his vehicle.

Yabut is now doing a profiling of Chen to determine if he could be a member of a criminal syndicate, even as proper charges are now being readied against the Chinese.
