MANILA, Philippines - A woman died Friday night after she accidentally shot herself with an improvised shotgun she was carrying in her neighborhood in Barangay Greater Lagro, Quezon City.

Mina Bercasio, 32, died at the Far Eastern University Hospital at around 11 p.m. about six hours after she shot herself in the abdomen, Police Officer 2 Rhic Pittong said.

Neighbors Wilma Moreno and Jomar Sumawang told police they were chatting when they saw the accident. Bercasio’s husband had called her to get the shotgun from him. After doing so, she walked home, still fiddling with the gun until it suddenly went off.

Neighbors rushed the woman to the hospital.
