OSAA's Aplasca made first warning shot at Senate —Malacañang

Malacañang on Thursday said that Senate sergeant-at-arms and retired Police Major General Mao Aplasca made the first “warning shot” during the incident at the Senate on Wednesday.

Palace Press Officer Undersecretary Claire Castro said this in a press conference, emphasizing that the National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) agents “made no assault” during the incident.

“Nagpakilala na NBI agents at nung nagsabi sila ng kanilang pagkakakilanlan, agad nagpapuutok ng warning shot si Sergeant-at-Arms Mao Aplasca. At dahil do’n, napilitan ding magpaputok ng warning shot ang NBI agent,” Castro said.

On Wednesday evening, gunshots rang out at the Senate amid lockdown at the upper chamber.—AOL, GMA News
