A couple was injured in a shooting and grenade throwing incident in Guindulungan, Maguindanao on Sunday night.

Capt. Zukarno Kunakon, Guindulungan town police chief, identified the injured couple as Maguid Rajamuda, 41, and Amina, 49, both of Barangay Macasampen.

“The injured couple was rushed by responding neighbors and village officials to the Cotabato Regional and Medical Center in Cotabato City following the incident,”
the police official said during a radio interview here Monday.

Kunakon said the couple sustained multiple gunshot and shrapnel wounds after unidentified gunmen opened fire on them while they were inside their home at past 9 p.m.

Before the suspects fled on a motorbike, one of them fired a 40-mm grenade projectile towards the couple’s house.


Police probers are still trying to determine the identities of the perpetrators.

“Initially, our investigators are eyeing personal grudge as a motive behind the attack,” Kunakon said.
