ASINGAN, Pangasinan – Two persons were killed
during a hostage-taking incident at a public market in Barangay Poblacion West
here Thursday.
Chief Inspector
Charlie Angyaon, police chief here, said Orlando Victorio, a resident of
Barangay Unzad in Villasis town, held hostage Zyrell Amery Rebucak, 11, at
around 6 a.m. when policemen responded to a complaint that the suspect had
wounded Herminio Ilumin, the husband of his sister-in-law.
As negotiations to
release the victim failed, Victorio shot the girl and fired at policemen.
Victorio, who was
wounded in the exchange of gunfire, was pronounced dead on arrival at the
Asingan Community Hospital. Rebucak died while being treated in the same
hospital.
