Stray bullet kills boy, 2

A two-year-old boy was killed after he was hit by a stray bullet on the forehead last Sunday in Phase II,  Relocation Site, barangay Baring, Carmen town, in northern Cebu.

Terence June M. Salabao was playing outside the family’s house when a neighbor, Pedro Durano, 32, shot Jemar Sevillano, whom he suspected to be a robber.

Police said Durano chased Sevillano as he passed by Durano’s house.

During the chase, Durano pulled out a gun and fired at Sevillano, but Durano missed and hit Salabao instead.

The boy was rushed to the hospital but he was declared dead on arrival by a doctor.

Police recovered two empty .45 caliber shells  from the crime scene.

Durano was detained at the Carmen police station pending the filing of charges./Correspondent Michelle Padayhag with CNU intern Allet Mary Teves
