Cop shoots cop

A Las Piñas City policeman was shot by a neighbor, a Pasay City policeman, during a heated argument in a drinking spree outside their house in Muntinlupa City Sunday night.

Senior Police Officer 1 Nestor Tercero, 41, a resident of Immaculate Concepcion street, Barangay Cupang, Muntinlupa, is now in critical condition at the Parañaque Medical Center due to a gun shot wound in the chest.

The suspect, identified as Police Officer 1 Tony Bacud, and resident of the same area, is now being hunted.

Investigation conducted by P02 Rodolfo Motio, Jr. and Felix Paor, investigators-on-case, the incident occurred at around 9:15 p.m. in front of the house of Bacud.

It was learned that Bacud was then hosting a drinking party joined in by Tercero and their neighbors when the wallet of one of the revelers, Jose Cervantes, Jr. was lost.

In the ensuing search for the wallet, Bacud made some remarks accusing Tercero and his companion of stealing the wallet. Hurt, Tercero, hurled invectives at his accuser. Bacud then shot him. Rainier Allan Ronda
