John Amores wanted for shooting incident

Police are now looking for PBA player John Amores after he allegedly shot another basketball player with whom he had an altercation in Lumban, Laguna.

Investigation showed that Amores and the victim identified as Lee Cacalda were playing basketball in Barangay Salac when they got into a heated argument.

Amores was supposed to have said, "Du'n tayo magsuntukuan."

(Let's go someplace to fight.)

The victim reportedly followed the suspect to Barangay Maytalang Uno.

When they both alighted from motorcycles, the suspect reportedly shot the victim with a still undetermined type of handgun.

The suspect fled towards Pagsanjan town.

The victim didn't sustain any injury.

GMA News Online sought comment from Amores but he has yet to reply as of posting time.
