Two brgy watchmen injured in rebel indiscriminate firing

From the Visayan Daily Star (Apr 17, 2019): Two brgy watchmen injured in rebel indiscriminate firing

Two barangay watchmen were injured from indiscriminate firing by suspected New People’s Army rebels in Brgy. Nalundan, Bindoy, Negros Oriental, Monday.

The two victims, identified as Nalundan barangay tanod chief Jose Arlito Amper and Aldrin Palumar suffered gunshot wounds in the left cheek and left arm, respectively.

Both were brought to the Bindoy District Hospital for treatment of the injuries.

The harassment came two days after Army soldiers overran a rebel camp and seized three high- powered guns left behind by suspected NPA rebels in Brgy. Cabcababan, Bindoy, Negros Oriental, on Sunday, after five minutes of gunbattle.
Police investigations showed that the Nalundan barangay captain, Charlito Damian, and his group were in the house of Amper, when they were fired at by a group of NPA rebels, hitting the two victims.

The armed rebels left after 10 minutes of indiscriminate firing, investigations of the Bindoy police showed.

Troopers of the 2nd Provincial Mobile Force Company of the Negros Oriental Police Provincial Office and the 94th Infantry Battalion are still pursuing the armed suspects, as of this waiting.*
