A road rage incident in Antipolo City escalated into a shooting on Sunday afternoon, injuring three individuals before the suspect was apprehended during a police pursuit.
According to Antipolo police, the confrontation happened around 5 p.m. along Marcos Highway in Barangay San Jose. The victims include a 52-year-old businessman (“Peter”) who suffered a head wound, a 22-year-old student (“Patrick”) shot in the arm, and a 29-year-old man (“Davis”) hit in the chest while trying to intervene. All were taken to Cabading Hospital for treatment.
The suspect, a 28-year-old businessman named “Kenneth,” attempted to escape in a black Toyota Fortuner but was stopped at a checkpoint in Barangay Mayamot, Masinag. He is now in police custody.
Antipolo police chief Lt. Col. Ryan Lopez Manongdo called on witnesses to come forward, while Rizal police director Col.
