CEBU - Two men who reportedly fought over a woman exchanged gunfire, but hit an innocent bystander instead in barangay Sawang Calero past midnight of Thursday.
According to SPO4 Alex Dacua, the suspects identified as Marino Tampus and Roel Bindoy, both residents of the place, met at the roadside near an Internet café where the victim, identified as Jogie Cabasan, was hanging out.
