Police recorded the first shooting incident at the residence of Joselito Antonio, chairman of Barangay San Roque at 9:30 p.m. Saturday.

Antonio he was warned by a cousin by phone that a man riding a motorcycle entered their compound. When he went out to check, a man pulled out a gun and fired at his house.
