GAPAN CITY - The bodyguard of a city councilor was killed while three persons were wounded in an ambush staged by still unidentified suspects in this southern Nueva Ecija city Wednesday morning, police reported.
Supt. Arnel Santiago, the Gapan police chief, said the security aide, Henry Manggit, died on the spot.
Brought to a local hospital were Sangguniang Panlungsod member Elpidio Rueda, Police Officer 1 Baltazar de la Cruz and another policeman, and private security escorts Nori Jacinto and Eric Fernandez.
Police said Rueda and his group were on their way home in a van to Barangay Sta. Cruz after coming from the city’s public market when they were fired on by men in a gray van.
The ambushers then sped away. -Armand Galang
