A town hall utility man of Libungan, North Cotabato, was critically wounded after unidentified attackers opened fire at him while at work inside the municipal government building Monday afternoon.
Senior Insp. Onofre Julian, Libungan town police chief, identified the victim as Alejandro Catulong, 57, a job order utility worker at the town hall.
“The gunman opened fire at Catulong while he was at the lobby of single-story town hall,” Julian, said in his report to North Cotabato police provincial office.
The shooting occurred around 1:40 p.m. near the office of Libungan Mayor Christopher Cuan.
Police said they are not ruling out the possibility that the shooting may have been a case of mistaken identity. They did not say whether the mayor may have been the target.
An initial police report said the gunmen fled onboard a waiting white van just outside the town hall premises.
Cuan is among the local chief executives included on President Rodrigo Duterte’s list of narco-politicians but he repeatedly denied involvement in the illegal drug trade.
He immediately convened a meeting of police and military officials after the incident.
