From the Philippine News Agency (Oct 5, 2020): Village exec killed, fireman hurt in Zambo shooting incidents (By Teofilo Garcia, Jr.)
Police are investigating the two separate shooting incidents on Sunday that led to death of a barangay official and the wounding of a volunteer fireman, an official said Monday.
Capt. Edwin Duco, Police Regional Office-9 (PRO-9) information officer, identified the fatality as Joseph Tejero, the barangay chairperson of Poblacion in Baliguian, Zamboanga del Norte.
The wounded volunteer fireman is identified as Alfredo Gomez Jr., 40, of Midsalip Fire Station, Zamboanga del Sur.
Duco said Tejero was inside his residence when three unidentified gunmen, armed with .45-caliber pistols, appeared and repeatedly shot the barangay official around 2:43 p.m. Sunday in Barangay Poblacion, Baliguian.
Tejero, who sustained multiple gunshot wounds, died instantly.
Duco said the suspects fled on board two motorcycles towards the town of Siocon, Zamboanga del Norte.
Gomez, on the other hand, was repeatedly shot by two men riding tandem in a motorcycle while the victim was about to park his motorcycle around 9 p.m. Sunday near a hospital in Barangay Bacahan in Midsalip, Zamboanga del Sur.
Police said Gomez was taken to the Midsalip Infirmary Hospital while the suspects sped towards Sominot town.
Duco said possible motives are now being looked into to establish the identities of the culprits in both incidents.
