75-year-old Antipolo City man arrested after shooting at drinking buddies

A 75-year-old Antipolo City man was arrested after he allegedly shot at his drinking buddies.

Based on the initial investigation, the 75-year-old suspect was having a drinking session with his friends inside his house when he suddenly got mad, according to Emil Sumangil’s “24 Oras” report on Friday.

The two victims ran away, while the suspect kept shooting at them, even at a dog at a nearby house. One of the victims was said to have been wounded.

The suspect returned to his house and locked himself inside.

The Antipolo Police, meanwhile, used a drone to surveil the house. They also convinced the suspect to surrender.

The suspect then came out and surrendered to the authorities.

“May pinagdadaanan itong ano natin yung suspect kasi allegedly iniwan ng asawa pati ng pamilya so mag-isa na lang siya doon,” Police Lieutenant Colonel June Paolo Abrazado, Antipolo Police chief, said.

(The suspect is going through something because his wife and family allegedly left him. So he is alone there.)
