A security guard shot and killed his two daughters and himself in Purok San Roque, Brgy. Buntis, Bacong, Negros Oriental, Thursday morning, Dec. 5.
The security guard killed his 5-year-old and 3-year-old daughters after a fight with his wife, the police said.
Investigation revealed that the suspect asked his wife to bring the children to him but it resulted in a heated argument.
The suspect shot his wife first but she escaped. He then shot the children and himself.
Lt. Stephen Polinar, Negros Oriental Police Provincial Office spokesperson, said one of the children was declared dead on arrival at a hospital, while the other died at the intensive care unit.
The police also found a 9-millimeter pistol beside the suspect.
The barangay council had earlier issued protection order for the wife as she did not want to return to her husband.*
