(Update) Shots fired at Makati congressional bet's house
Shots were fired at the house of a congressional candidate in the first district of Makati City on Sunday night, radio dzBB reported. Senior Superintendent Gilbert Cruz, chief of the Makati police, told dzBB early Monday morning that before 11 p.m., Sunday, unidentified men on board a maroon Asian utility vehicle (AUV) drove slowly in front of candidate Oscar Ibay's house at 1408 Newton street, San Isidro village and indiscriminately fired their guns at the gate. Cruz said five to six empty bullet shells from a .45-caliber pistol were recovered from the site. He said Ibay, former Makati councilor, left his house, minutes before the incident. The report said this was the second incident in the day. DzBB said shots were also earlier fired at the house of retired police general Aquilino Jacob, a supporter of reelectionist Makati Mayor Jejomar Binay. The preventive suspension issued against Binay and his treasurer stemmed from a plunder case filed by Ibay. Cruz said they are already investigating on the matter, trying to find out if the two shooting incidents are related. - GMANews.TV
