Man who shot 2, holes up, surrenders
A MAN finally surrendered after more than three hours of negotiation after shooting and wounding two persons inside his compound then holed up in his house, noon of March 7 at Diamond Village in Barangay Pantal here for hours.
The standoff started at around 12:00 noon shortly after the suspect Dominick Fung, 30 years old, shot and wounded one of his workers and another person for a still unknown reason inside their compound.
Policemen and members of the Special Weapons and Tactics (SWAT) team rushed to the area when Fung’s wife called for assistance until shots were heard from inside the house.
This prompted the police and SWAT teams to cordon the area and seal off the road leading to the area.
When the incident reached Mayor Belen T. Fernandez, she immediately convened the Crisis Management Council and instructed Police Chief P/Superintendent Christopher Abrahano to oversee the operation.
P/Sr. Inspector Bernabe Ramos headed of the negotiating team.
Fung was taken into custody after he peacefully laid down his 9mm caliber pistol.
Police believed that Fung was under the influence of illegal drugs when the incident happened and became out of control when he had an altercation with his wife.
According to Fung’s wife, her husband had become mentally unstable as an effect of illegal drugs and his medication.
The victims who sustained gunshot wounds in the legs are now in stable condition but one of them had to undergo surgery to remove the slug fired from a 9mm pistol bullet in his leg.
The victims who were shot by Fung were identified later as Alex Pangan and Albert Perez.
Cases of frustrated homicide and alarm and scandal are being prepared against Fung who is now lodged at the PNP jail. (CIO)
