DAGUPAN CITY—A 35-year-old security guard last Thursday shot and killed his cousin before turning the gun on himself in San Carlos City, police said on Friday.

Supt. Noel Vallo, San Carlos police chief, said Lemuel Paningbatan shot his cousin Juanito Venezuela, a 33-year-old tricycle driver, several times near his house in Barangay (village) Balite around 2:30 p.m.

Paningbatan then walked about four steps away from his dead cousin and shot himself in the head.
