A still unidentified intruder was shot and killed after he
hacked and tried to grab the service weapon of a duty sentry at the
headquarters of 10th Infantry Battalion in Barangay Buhanginan, Patikul, Sulu
Friday early morning.
The sentry identified as Master Sgt. Esmeraldo Manugay,
sustained hack wounds in the head and back during the incident.
The incident took place at 5:15 a.m., said Joint Task Group
Sulu commander Brig. Gen. Alan Arrojado in a message to the PNA.
Manugay was doing his rounds at the peripheries of 10th
Infantry Battalion headquarters when the suspect appeared out of nowhere and
hacked the sentry and tried to grab his service weapon.
The scuffle attracted the attention of another sentinel who
shot and killed the unidentified intruder instantly.
Arrojado said the commanding officer of the 10th Infantry
Battalion alerted all his men to find possible accomplices of the intruder
aside from deploying two companies to secure the route of Manugay who was
brought to a nearby medical facility.
Local police were called to investigate the incident.
