ZAMBOANGA CITY — Gunmen shot and killed a radiologist of the state-owned regional hospital in Zamboanga City in the southern Philippines, police said.

Police identified the victim as Ralph Madrigal, 35, who was shot just outside the Zamboanga Regional Hospital on Tuesday.

Madrigal was about to head home on his motorbike when two men on motorcycle shot him several times in the body.

The motive of the attack was unknown, but killings are rampant here where dozens had fell victims to gun attacks since early this year.

Police largely blamed feud in most of the murders, but many of the killings had been carried out by guns-for-hire who are actively operating in Zamboanga City. — Al Jacinto/LBG/RSJ, GMANews.TV
