TWO teenagers were riddled with bullets by members of a notorious street gang in Quezon City Sunday night.

Killed was Jerick Bayugao, 15, of Sagingan St., Barangay Payatas B, Quezon City. He sustained multiple gunshot wounds in the left side of his chest and left arm. His neighbor Nico Morales, 18, was critically wounded and is under observation at the East Avenue Medical Center.

Witnesses told the police the incident occurred around 9 p.m. beside the Noel Junkshop in Sagingan St. The victims were just chatting when the suspects suddenly appeared and pumped  bullets into them.

Inspector Elmer Monsalve, chief of the homicide investigation section of the Quezon City Police District suspects rivalry between street gangs could be the motive of the killings.
