CEBU CITY – Charges will be filed against three persons involved in a gun-toting incident in Barangay Tapon, Dumanjug town, southern Cebu.
The incident was caught on video and has been viral on social media.
Police Major Nolan Tagsip, information officer of the Dumanjug Police Station, said they are already preparing cases against the suspects.
“The complainant has opted to get a private lawyer. We are now in the process of completing the documents. As soon as the affidavit complaint of the witness will be completed by the lawyer, we will endorse it to the Dumanjug police station,” Tagsip said.
Tagsip said there were four persons involved in the incident but only three have been identified so far.
He said one of the suspects won as councilor in the recent barangay and Sangguniang Kabataan elections.
In the video, an armed person was seen assaulting another person at gunpoint.
Tagsip said charges for grave threats, physical injury, and violation of the election gun may be filed against the suspects.
