Two minors shot at benefit dance
CEBU – Two minors suffered gunshot wounds after a man shot them in the middle of a benefit dance in barangay Lamesa in Balamban town early dawn yesterday.
The assailant was identified as Cordio Gabini, also a resident of the town. The FREEMAN is withholding the names of the two minor victims.
Initial investigation revealed that the victims and the suspect joined the benefit dance when Gabini allegedly hit the elbow of the 16-year-old victim.
When the victim confronted Gabini, the suspect allegedly pulled out his gun and shot the victim. Luckily, the victim managed to duck and only sustained superficial wounds on the left side of his body.
However, the 13-year-old victim, who was dancing nearby, was hit on her right thigh. The benefit dance was immediately stopped, as the two minors were rushed to the Balamban District Hospital. Police are now determining the whereabouts of the suspect who fled right after the incident. — Christopher Gabriel Bonjoc/JMO (THE FREEMAN)
