A man in Cavite chased and shot his live-in partner after a heated domestic argument. The incident occurred in Barangay 29-A Caridad, Cavite City, where CCTV footage showed the woman running while the man held a gun and opened fire.
The woman was lucky and was not hit by a bullet. According to police, the altercation began last night when the woman reprimanded the man for making noise while drinking, while their 8-month-old son was sleeping. The tension continued until the next morning, which led to the shooting.
The man has been arrested after the incident. During the investigation, he allegedly said that he had no intention of harming the woman. But because of what happened, he is now facing a case of attempted murder and violation of the gun ban.
The incident has sparked strong reactions online. Many netizens are seething with anger, while others are calling for justice for the woman and the safety of their child. “This is really scary now,” said one netizen. “She should be imprisoned and never released,” said another.
This is another reminder that domestic violence should not be overlooked. Early help and support is needed to prevent tragedy in homes.
