ZAMBOANGA CITY (Mindanao Examiner / Oct. 15, 2013) – An unidentified gunman barged in a house and fatally shot a villager in Zamboanga City in southern Philippines, police said Tuesday.
Police said Freddie Sabran, 39, was shot by the lone assailant who escaped after the attack in Kilometer 7 in Pasonanca village.
Sabran, who was shot in the chest, had been rushed by his family to hospital, but he died along the way.
Police are still investigating the motive of the attack and who was behind it. Sabran’s family did not give any statement about the killing, but gun attacks are not uncommon in Zamboanga.
Many of the killings in Zamboanga have been largely blamed to guns-for-hire who are actively operating in the city. Most of the murders remain unsolved. (Mindanao Examiner)
