Juveniles shoot guard, flee with gun

Two juveniles shot and wounded a security guard of a bakery in barangay Cogon-Pardo yesterday dawn for refusing to hand over his service revolver to them.

Richard Paculba, 29, single, of Calahari Security Agency, and residing in barangay Quiot, was guarding a Julie's Bakeshop branch when the juveniles came and demanded for his gun, the Cebu City Homicide Police said.

One of the suspects shot him in the face while a companion shot him on the right shoulder, the police said. Homicide said the second shot gave the juveniles the confidence to grab his .38 cal. revolver.

Paculba's assailants fled towards barangay Inayawan road. Paculba was taken to Cebu City Medical Center. - Flor Z. Perolina
