A government soldier was killed and 3 others injured in a shooting incident inside a disco bar in Ipil town in the southern Philippine province of Zamboanga Sibugay, police said Thursday.

The soldiers, who are members of the 53rd Infantry Battalion and assigned with the 102nd Infantry Brigade in Ipil, were shot at dawn Wednesday inside the Planet Disco near the army headquarters. All the wounded were rushed to the De Villa Hospital in the town while police continue its investigation into the shooting.

But police gave little details of the incident and the investigator in-charge with the case, PO2 Romer Anggot, did not answer phone calls from journalists following up the progress of the probe.

It was unclear whether the shooting was connected to a brawl or if policemen or soldiers or communist rebels were involved in the deadly attack. The brigade headquarters and the 1st Infantry Division, and even the Western Mindanao Command did not release any information into the shooting incident.
