A  SHARP SHOOTER. A policeman who chased and arrested an armed robbery suspect was awarded recently. More than the award, he said he was happy with the praise of his fellow policemen who admired his sharpshooting skills, shooting the escaping suspect precisely in the thigh to immobilize him.

NOT REALLY. However, to a few close friends, he would later say he missed his target entirely. "Ulo man akong gipuntiryahan, pero ang paa man hinuon na-igo," he jokingly said.
