Fatal Shooting at Commonwealth Market: Security Guard Fires at Alleged Thief
A security guard at Commonwealth Market in Quezon City fires an alleged thief for attempting to rob some items from the market.
According to the investigation conducted by QCPD Station 6, the victim was allegedly involved in stealing several items from the market on Tuesday morning (June 27, 2023). He was apprehended and taken to the market’s administrative office.
As the complainant had not arrived by evening, it was decided to release the man. However, the night shift security guard came at that moment. Eyewitnesses reported to the police that the guard entered the administrative office and had a conversation with the man, but suddenly, he shot the man without warning.
The police are currently searching for the suspect, who managed to escape from the scene.
According to reports, this was not the first time the man had been accused of theft at the market. He had allegedly complained multiple times, but the complainants did not proceed with filing charges against him.
The market management informed the authorities that this incident was an isolated case, not reflective of the overall security situation within the market.
The tragic shooting has sparked concerns and questions about the security measures and protocols at Commonwealth Market. While security guards play a vital role in maintaining order and preventing theft, the use of firearms should always be a last resort and strictly regulated.
