2 killed in cockpit shooting

TWO men died in a shooting incident inside a cockpit in barangay Tinubdan, Daanbantayan town Monday afternoon.

Victims Ricky Lauron, 38, and Harry Neri, 40, suffered gunshot wounds in different parts of the body.

PO3 Alfredo Mandal of the Daanbantayan Police said they have identified the attackers but refused to name them so as not to jeopardize their follow up operations.

Mandal said that prior to the incident, Lauron had an argument with one of the attackers.

Then Lauron went inside the cockpit arena but was followed by the assailants and shot him several times.
