BACNOTAN, La Union – Unidentified suspects, riding in tandem a motorcycle shot to death a 24-year-old professor and his one-year-old son in Barangay Casiaman here Tuesday morning. La Union police deputy director Supt. Pedro Obaldo identified the casualties as Allan dela Cruz, 24, an instructor at the St. Louis College in San Fernando City, and his one-year-old son Timothy Jarius.

Obaldo said the incident happened at around 9 a.m. while Dela Cruz was playing with his son in front of their house. “The gunman suddenly appeared and shot them immediately with a 9mm pistol after which he escaped toward a waiting motorcycle driven by a companion,” Obaldo said.

“We are still looking into the motive of the incident.” The father was reportedly the main target who suffered four gunshot wounds, one in his head and three in the chest, while the child was hit by stray bullets in his ear and head.
