Palace Reporter Fernan Angeles Sustained 6 Gunshot in Shooting Incident

Malacañang reporter Fernan Angeles was shot and wounded near his house in Pasig City Sunday night, March 11.

4-year-old Angeles was walking in a dark alley along Orante St., Barangay Palatiw at about 11 p.m. in Pasig City when he was shot by unknown personality. He was immediately brought to the Pasig City General Hospital after sustaining six gunshot wounds and a bone fracture.

Malacañang Press Corps president Joyce Pañares said Angeles, 41, had an argument with a group of men on Sunday night when he went out to buy a prepaid load for his cell phone.

His wife, Gemma, said that she wasn't ruling out that her husband was shot because of his reporting on the illegal sale of narcotics in Pasig.

Angeles was still in critical condition with bullet fragments in his body.
