CAMP OLIVAS, Pampanga – A businessman and an 11-month-old boy were killed and another was wounded when two armed men shot them successively inside their house in Barangay San Roque Melencio, Cabanatuan City, Saturday.

In his report here, Senior Superintendent Ricardo Marquez, Nueva Ecija provincial police director, identified the fatalities as Ricardo Gonzales, 52, a businessman of Barangay Villa Ofelia, Cabanatuan City and Kurt Justine Espino, 11-months.

The wounded was identified as Nenita Galang, 37, of Barangay San Roque Melencio, Cabanatuan City.
