TAYUG–Unidentified armed men riding in tandem on a motorcycle fired at the house of a deputy provincial prosecutor in Barangay ‘B’ here at 4:00 a.m. on December 10.

Deputy Provincial Prosecutor Noel Bince and members of his family and household, who were all sleeping at that time in their respective rooms, were unscathed.

Bince told newsmen that the incident, possibly intended to scare him and his family, could be related to some of the sensitive cases he is handling in eastern Pangasinan.

Five of the bullets of an M-16 rifle found their marks in a parked Hyundai van owned by the family and another five bullets hit the porch of the house.

Police learned that two hours prior to the strafing, unidentified armed men shot a streetlight in front of a Shell gasoline station just across Bince’s house as reported by a bus inspector of a SanTrans bus parked nearby.

Bince confirmed this was the second attack by unidentified armed men at his house.

The first was in December 2005 when suspects fired at the family’s van while it was being parked in their garage with the suspects probably thinking it was Bince who was on board.

However, the one on board was Bince’s son Noel Jr. who was wounded in the left leg.

Chief Inspector Brandon Palisoc, chief of police of Tayug, has assigned a police operative to provide security to the prosecutor. (LVM)
