Female dentist shot dead by robbers in Laguna
SAN PEDRO CITY, Laguna—A dentist was shot and killed as she tried to fend off robbers in San Pablo City in Laguna province on Thursday night, police said on Friday.
A report from the Laguna provincial police said the attack happened just as Genevieve Ojeda, 34, with her children and their maid, arrived home in Riverina Subdivision in Barangay (village) San Rafael at 7:30 p.m.
Ojeda and her children had just stepped out of their car and their maid was unloading their things when four armed men approached them, the report said.
The robbers ordered them to enter the house but Ojeda tried to block the group. This drove the suspects to shoot her several times, hitting her in the chest.
The robbers took Ojeda’s handbag that contained her wallet and mobile phones as they fled.
Ojeda died while undergoing treatment at the San Pablo City Medical Center./rga
