Intruder killed in 10th IB headquarters in Patikul

From the Philippine News Agency (Feb 12): Intruder killed in 10th IB headquarters in Patikul

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.
