A Scout Ranger was gunned down in Compostela Valley while the deputy commander of the 10th Regional Community Defense Group, Army Reserve Command survived an assassination attempt in Cagayan de Oro on Thursday, the Eastern Mindanao Command said.

The unidentified soldier from the 12th Scout Ranger Company, who the Eastmincom said was unarmed, was returning home after taking his son to the San Antonio Elementary School in Barangay San Antonio, Mabini town when he was shot dead around 12:30 p.m.

The killers fled on two motorcycles.

Around 8 a.m. the same day, Colonel Edwin Respecio was driving his car on his way to Camp Evangelista when two men riding a motorcycle fired on him, the bullet hitting him on the left said of the face and exiting on the opposite side.

Eastmincom said Respecio “is now in stable condition at a medical facility in the city.”
