PAGADIAN CITY (Mindanao Examiner / Jan. 2, 2014) – Police arrested the chief security of the Pagadian City Fish Port Complex who was accused of shooting a man following an operation that led to his capture.
Chief Inspector Ariel Huesca, a regional police spokesman, said Rodolfo Calago is currently detained at the local police station while charges are being prepared against him.
He said Calago allegedly opened fire on a pick-up truck and wounded Allan Chavez, who works as a driver for businessman Macario Tingson, in the village of San Pedro. Calago, a retired soldier-turned-security officer, escaped after the shooting.
Police said prior to the shooting, Calago and Tingson had engaged in a heated argument at the fish port. And to avoid further confrontation, Tingson and his driver left the area, but Calago reportedly fired his .45-caliber pistol towards the truck and hit the driver.
Chavez was rushed to the hospital, police said. (Mindanao Examiner)
