COTABATO CITY (PNA) – Police are hunting down two men who tried to kill a male nurse along a busy street here on Tuesday afternoon.
Capt. Rustom Pastolero, city police station 2 chief, said Gino Guerrero, a front-liner of the Cotabato Regional and Medical Center (CRMC), was unscathed after a gunman fired at him at about 3 p.m. near a gas station on San Isidro Street, Barangay Rosary Heights 10, Cotabato City.
Pastolero said Guerrero, 30, of Peñafrancia Village, was driving his car when one of two men riding on a motorbike opened fire on him.
“He miraculously escaped unharmed but his car has at least seven bullet holes,” Pastolero said, adding that police found empty shells for a .45-caliber pistol at the crime scene.
Pastolero said investigation was ongoing as to the motive and identity of the perpetrators.
“We are also determining if it was work-related or not,” he said.
