A MAN and his daughter were injured after a close family friend accidentally fired his gun inside their home in sitio Bakay, barangay Tulay, Minglanilla at around 7:30 p.m. last Saturday.
Jerry Rubas, 41, and his thirteen-year-old daughter were in their home awaiting a visit from their family friend, Edsel Franza and his wife.
Franza was in the midst of an argument with his wife when they arrived. The wife kept scolding her husband for bringing an unlicensed firearm.
An angry Franza took out his .45 caliber pistol to intimidate his wife but he accidentally pulled the trigger, shooting Rubas’ hand.
The bullet went through the victim’s hand and into his daughter’s thigh.
The two victims were rushed to the district hospital but were transferred to the Vicente Sotto Memorial Medical Center in Cebu City.
Police said they conducted a follow-up operation immediately after the incident but failed to catch the suspect and his wife./UP INTERN VICTOR ANTHONY V. SILVA
