A policeman in Koronadal City, South Cotabato suffered injuries after he accidentally shoots himself while shopping at the market.
Police are a group of people who have been given authority by the government to enforce the law, protect citizens’ rights and property, and stop crime and disturbance. Their legal authority extends to making arrests and using force, which is justified by the state’s monopoly on violence.
Police officers usually carry firearms during their duties. Some of them also carry firearms even off-duty to protect themselves against any form of threat. However, handguns should be handled properly to avoid unexpected incidents.
Over the past few years, there are numerous incidents of accidental shootings. Several individuals have suffered injuries and some even passed away due to unfortunate incidents.
Recently, the police officer identified as Patrolman Romgie Larroza Llorito is buying raw food products at a market in Koronadal City, South Cotabato when the incident happened. He suffered wounds and injuries due to the incident.
