Cop shoots, Opascor Employee

One of two policemen responding to a trouble alarm shot and wounded a 44-year-old employee of the Orient Pacific and Allied Services Corporation right inside the firm's office at Pier 6 in the north reclamation area of Cehu City Tuesday afternoon.

PO2 Darwin Pipinas was with a certain PO2 Traveza when he shot Felipe Orhan who allegedly went wild and tried to grab the policeman's gun.

Orhan, a native of Kidapawan in North Cotabato, was hit in his right thigh and left leg and was immediately taken to the Cebu City Medical Center.

Orhan refused to give comments on the matter when asked by reporters at the hospital but the police have conducted follow-up investigations already to determine the cause of the trouble.

The Maritime Police were the ones who arrested Orhan who would be turned over soon to the custody of the City Police. - Norvie S. Misa/RAE
