Boy killed, 3 others wounded in strafing in Lamitan City

Chief Editor September 20, 2016

ZAMBOANGA CITY – A three-year old boy was killed and her mother and sister and a neighbor were wounded after gunmen opened fire on their house in Lamitan City in the southern Philippine province of Basilan, police said Tuesday.

It said Omal Lario was hit in the chest and died on the spot while her 25-year old mother Usaiya was also shot in the chest and her sister Naira, 5, had been hit in the foot in the attack which occurred at dawn Monday in Balobo village.

Their neighbor, Said Montong, 11, was also shot in the knee, police said.

The victims were all asleep when the attackers arrived and sprayed the house with automatic gunfire. Police investigators recovered bullet casings fired from an M16 automatic rifle and M1 Garand rifle.

Police said the wounded were rushed to the hospital. The motive of the attack is still unknown or whether it was connected to clan war or not, but police said it is investigating the strafing.

No individual or group claimed responsibility for the attack, but rebel groups are also actively operating in the province which is part of the Muslim autonomous region. (Mindanao Examiner)
