Man takes hostages in QC, uses baby as shield

As of now, the only motive we see is madness.

“According to a radio report, a man who was only identified as ‘Jerry,’ held at knife point members of a family at No. 13 Halcon Street in Brgy. Sta. Teresita, Quezon City on Monday, Jan 6. Jerry had barged into the home at 6:20am,” reports Dennis Carcamo on Philstar.com.

After three hours of negotiations, authorities subdued the suspect, who had used an eight-month-old baby as a “shield.”

Two people were reportedly hurt during the hostage-taking episode, one of them being the mother of the baby. Both were rushed to the hospital.
