Quezon City police have arrested a minor accused of mauling and shooting another teenager in Barangay Commonwealth.
According to the Philippine National Police, officers from Police Station 6 in QC arrested a 15-year-old student for shooting and mauling a 14-year-old boy at a computer shop earlier this week. “The victim sustained injuries and gunshot wounds in his shoulder and nape,” police said.
Police Superintendent Ramon Pranada, station commander, said the incident was motivated by an old grudge between rival groups. “When they had the chance (for) revenge upon seeing the victim in the computer shop, they immediately barged inside, mauled and shot the victim in the shoulder then fled away,” the police said.
The suspect’s alleged accomplices, a certain Logbi Corales, “Carlo”, “Ton”, and “Michael” are still at large. They are also minors, police said.
