MOGTORCYCLE-RIDING armed men on Wednesday shot and injured a 49-year-old overseas Filipino worker (OFW) in Bgy. Telapayong, Arayat, Pampanga.
In a report to Police Regional Office 3 (PRO3) director Brig. Gen. Ponce Rogelio Peñones Jr., the Pampanga police identified the victim as Bernie Guevarra, a resident of the village.
Guevarra was drinking with companions along the roadside when two men on a red Honda Click motorcycle stopped nearby. Both suspects were wearing helmets.
The back rider allegedly got off the motorcycle, approached Guevarra, and opened fire, hitting him in the right thigh and left arm.
Despite his injuries, the victim was able to fight back before the gunmen fled towards Bgy. San Antonio, Arayat.
The OFW was rushed to Dr. Andres Luciano District Hospital in Magalang for treatment.
Responding lawmen recovered at the crime scene two empty cal. .45 shells and an airsoft magazine.
A follow-up investigation is ongoing to determine the identities and motives of the attackers.
