The case investigator, Master Sergeant Alwin Laurente, said they received a call regarding the event and responded right away to check the report. A sliver of steel was purportedly discovered in a videoke bar by an eight-year-old during the initial examination.
He apparently played with the item he found in the videoke bar, unaware that it was a grenade, with his teammates, who were also unaware that it was an explosive. The device was a 40 mm grenade, which is frequently seen at the height of a high-powered automatic rifle or “grenade launcher,” according to the bomb squad.
While playing, the children may have accidentally set off a grenade, causing them to be injured. The injured were brought to Baybay City’s Immaculada Conception Hospital.
Meanwhile, authorities recovered and found the remains of 2 minors hugging after they allegedly died when the fire caught their house in Caloocan City.
