JUST an hour before the local election board opened voting precincts, gun-wielding individuals sprayed bullets in Silay City in Negros Occidental killing two local government personnel.
Five others were wounded, according to the local police.
Initial investigation showed that the victims were having coffee around 6:00 in the morning when the unidentified suspects on board a van started firing shots.
Survivors said that the victims were on duty to monitor vote-buying.
In a news article posted on GMA News Online, police are reportedly looking into the involvement of a barangay captain. Silay City Police however did not elaborate. Operatives are on a hot pursuit operation against the suspect.
