Kapatagan Mayor Raida Maglangit relayed in a phone call how the suspect got irked when he saw the rival of his wife getting water near the barangay hall. Pagrangan, the mayor said, then approached Tawa, and demanded why he came to get water when they were enemies.
But Tawa reportedly responded that the water source was public property and proceeded fetching water. The suspect then opened fire, Maglangit said.[]
Moner said a manhunt operation is now being conducted by the local police.
He added that traditional leaders and elders are now negotiating for Pagrangan’s surrender.
Around 10 a.m., another shooting incident took place in nearby village of Dugawan killing a Muslim religious leader identified as Acmad Mulang Alamada.
