University official's gun license revoked

MANILA, Philippines - The vice president of AMA Computer University had his gun license revoked on Friday following an alleged attack on a gasoline station attendant in Quezon City last Sunday, which was caught on camera by a local television station, a police official said.

Charles Sullivan was ordered to immediately surrender his caliber 45 pistol at Camp Crame’s Firearms and Explosives Division after police reviewed the video aired on ABS-CBN television last July 6, purportedly showing Sullivan punching, choking, and showing his gun to gas station attendant Alfredo Gallaza, said Director German Doria of the Police Community Relations Group.

Sullivan was about to refuel his car when the altercation happened at 11 a.m. On July 5.

A police report said Sullivan allegedly “arrogantly ordered the staff to speed up filling his gas tank.”

When Gallaza told Sullivan to wait while his credit card was being verified, the suspect allegedly “angrily alighted from the vehicle, poked [his gun] and threatened the complainant…and choked and punched him on the face and chest,” the report said.

This prompted police to cancel Sullivan’s license and his permit-to-carry firearms, Doria said.

“[Sullivan] is not fit and he seems like he has a problem with his temper,” he added.

Sullivan will lose his gun privileges indefinitely, until the FED adjudication board decides he is fit to carry firearms, Doria said.

Meanwhile, Doria reminded all gun owners to keep their guns hidden when in public.

“Your guns should be kept away from the public. It should be hidden,” he added.
