Cops Arrest Man for Firing at Students Over Doorbell Incident
A man in Barangay Marauoy, Lipa City, Batangas was arrested after firing a gun at students over a simple doorbell incident.
According to police, six Grade 12 students were inside a Toyota Vios when the shooting happened. Some of the students were minors. They were reportedly in the area to pick up a schoolmate when one of them pressed the doorbell of a nearby house.
The sudden gunfire shocked the students and nearby residents. Thankfully, no one was hurt during the incident. Despite the close call, the students managed to leave the area safely and immediately reported the incident to authorities.
Authorities said the man will face serious charges, including attempted murder. He will also be charged for violating the law that protects children from abuse and harm, since some of the students involved were underage.
Local officials continue to stress that violence has no place in resolving misunderstandings, and that the law will take firm action against those who put lives at risk.
“The Batangas police will ensure that perpetrators are held accountable and brought before the court to protect the safety and security of our citizens,”
Batangas police said.
