A 32-year-old woman was shot in the left leg after a force
of 15 New People's Army (NPA) attacked a milita outpost in Barangay Anitapan,
Mabini town, Compostela
Valley
1st Lt. Vergel Lacambra, 10th Infantry Division
spokesperson, said the incident took place at 3: 15 p.m.
He identified the victim as Lucrisia Lisondra, a resident of
Purok 2, Barangay Anitapan, of the above-mentioned province.
Lisondra said she was gathering firewood when the NPAs made
their attack.
This prompted her to run to their house in an effort to get
her children to safety.
In the process she noticed blood oozing from her leg and
realized she was hit by a bullet.
Lacambra said Lisondra immediately sought the assistance of
the local officials and peace and development teams of their 71st Infantry
Battalion who then brought her to Davao
Regional Hospital
in Tagum City
Investigation showed that the NPA bandits positioned about
250 meters north of the detachment while the victim’s house is located about
1.5 kilometers south of the outpost.
This shows that the victim’s house is within the line of
sight of the NPAs who positioned themselves and indiscriminately fired assorted
weapons from an elevated area of Anitapan
Public Cemetery
Pursuit operations are still ongoing as of this posting.
