(UPDATE) 6 dead in Cavite shootout

LAGUNA - Six people were killed when a gunfight, prompted by a traffic-related argument, erupted at a public market in Imus, Cavite at about 9:30 p.m. on Sunday evening.

Superintendent Ulysses Cruz, Imus police chief, identified the victims as Raul Bautista, 68 and his sons Richie Allen Bautista, 45, and Raulindo "Raffy" Bautista, as well as their driver Michael Salanguit, 41, all residents of Barangay Palico, Imus, Cavite.

Also killed were Sowaib Salie, 68 and his son Mahmod Sultan alias "Macky", both residents of Barangay Bayan Luma in Imus, Cavite.

Cruz said the Bautistas owned an ice plant at the public market, while Sultan operated a cellphone and DVD store.

Police reports said the Bautistas were unloading chunks of ice along the road near the Imus Public Market at about 9 p.m. when Salie and his son Sowaib, onboard a vehicle, honked their car's horn impatiently at the Bautistas.

Annoyed by the honking, Raul reportedly confronted Salie. Eyewitnesses said the argument heated up fast after the two parties threatened to kill each other.

At around 9:30 pm, the Bautistas and their driver returned to the public market armed with short firearms and started shooting at Sultan and Salie, who were also armed.

After a few minutes of the gunfight, the dead bodies of the Bautistas and the Sultans were seen strewn around the market. Salangui, meanwhile, was reported injured but died a few hours later while being treated at the Our Lady of Pillar Hospital for multiple gunshot wounds.

Authorities recovered 40 empty shells from a caliber 9mm, and a Beretta handgun (with serial number D77491) carrying a magazine loaded with 13 bullets. Police are investigating reports that the two families had a long-standing feud, which may have prompted the violent encounter.

The victims' families, meanwhile, could not be reached for comment.

ang tatapang nila :death:

[chua_riwap]

Pag may baril talaga.....lalong tumatapang ang tao.

Ayos yan, maubos na sila.

[bad driver]

diba dapat sa thumbs up forum to? our roads are now safer.

[buriroy]

Kaya nga ba ayoko magdala ng baril sa lansangan eh. Pag nakatapat
ka ng may baril din at hindi takot gamitin, tiyak ubusan ang mangyayari.

Sa sobrang kapusukan nila dahil sa baril, nakahanap din sila ng katapat.
Ang malungkot lang patay silang pareho!

[Autobeat]

Matinding gun violence.

Pointless talaga. Hindi man lang magnanakaw, kidnapper, or carjacker ang ginamitan naman nila ng kani-kanilang mga baril.

Sila sila ring mga negosyanteng gun owners ang nagbarilan at nagpatayan sa isa't-isa.

[cuecraftsman]

diba dapat sa thumbs up forum to? our roads are now safer.

+1 dami siguro check-point ngayon sa imus/bacoor area?

[Lucius]

Private people pa yan ha

Pano pa kung ung Cavite Hitmen pa makasalubong

[claRkEnt]

expect na dito ang resbak!

[kenshinx]

Maling gamit ng tapang

Natakot silang mag usap ng lalaki sa lalaki kaya nagbarilan na lang

[CVT]

Nakupo,- simulan na naman ito ng "ubusan ng lahi"! (Baka mauso na naman ito sa Cavite....)

8101:oops2:

[redorange]

That's six less stupid people in the world. If the remaining stupid people would do the same to each other the human gene pool will be better. To kill another person over the honking of a horn is just plain stupid.

[Karag2]

Nakupo,- simulan na naman ito ng "ubusan ng lahi"! (Baka mauso na naman ito sa Cavite....)

8101:oops2:

yung mga bautista kamag anak daw ng revilla... e sa laki ng angkan nila 'pepeng agimat' at si kap hirap magkaubusan ng lahi dyan...

[claRkEnt]

OT: tag-ulan pa naman. mamamayani si nardong putik.

BTT: medyo mahirap yan. hindi makikipag-ayos yan kasi 3 nalagas sa kanila.

[valvura]

yung mga bautista kamag anak daw ng revilla... e sa laki ng angkan nila 'pepeng agimat' at si kap hirap magkaubusan ng lahi dyan...

pero mas efficient shooters itong nakalaban nila, 2:1. mga bautista pa ang may reinforcement at naunang magpaputok, sila pa ang maraming nalagasan.

[alwayz_yummy]

so.... guns DO make sissy guys "macho"...

good news for us motorists--lesser "a-holes" on the road..... bad news for politicians---lesser voters

[M68]

Buti nga iyan. Bawasan ang mga walang kuwenta at trigger happy na tao.

[valvura]

as expected, what's next?

PNP on alert vs backlash of Cavite road rage
06/23/2009 | 04:02 PM

MANILA, Philippines - The Philippine National Police (PNP) has stepped up security in Imus, Cavite to prevent a possible backlash of Sunday night’s clash between two warring families that left six people dead.

PNP spokesman Senior Superintendent Leonardo Espina said they have put up checkpoints on all entry points in Imus to prevent allies of both families from trooping to the town for revenge.

"We are on alert for a backlash that would ensue as a result of the Sunday's clash. We are expecting that so we are prepared," he said.

The clash, which started from a petty traffic altercation, resulted to the deaths of Mahmod Sultan; Sowain Salib; Roy Bautista and his sons Ritchie and Raffy; and Michael Salanguit.

The incident occurred near the Imus Public Market at about 9 p.m., police reports said.

Espina said part of their ongoing investigation is to determine if the firearms used in the gun battle were legal, but nevertheless, law enforcers in the area have intensified their crackdown on loose firearms.

He also said they are checking information that the two families were business rivals, and that at present, there are attempts to mediate between them to prevent further escalation of the violence.

"Investigation is ongoing and proper security measures are now in place in the area," Espina said. - GMANews.TV

[OTEP]

These guys make legitimate gun owners look bad. Tsk tsk tsk. Now expect another rash of 'anti-gun' sentiments to hit the streets.

[M68]

Kaunting OT lang.

Not to stereotype all Muslims. I remember before when we had a stall under the LRT stairs in Baclaran. We gave it up when my dad decided to downgrade our business. Naghanap kami then ng iba to sell the rights to. Nagkataon na napaligiran kami ng mga Muslim traders occupying other stores. One day sinamahan ng tao namin ang isang prospective buyer. ginawa ba naman nung "leader" ng mga Muslim doon eh tinakot iyung buyer. Na sila daw talaga ang bibili ng rights at wala ng iba. At ginawa niya iyun with almost all of the other Muslim traders literally behind his back. Of course nag back out iyung buyer at sinumbong sa amin noong tao namin iyung nangyari. Eh di alam ng mga kumag na malakas kami sa magkasunod na mayors noon (Cuneta and Trinidad). Rinesbakan namin kasama ang mga pulis Pasay. Buti napagusapan din. Eventually, my dad sold the rights to the "leader" na rin much to my consternation. Katuwiran niya eh makikipag away ka ba sa siang lugar na hindi naman sa atin in the first place? Haha! Anyway, na-karma din ang mga kups na iyun kasi a year later eh giniba lahat ng stalls sa spot na iyun. May hangganan din pala ang "tapang" nila.
