2 Koreans shot dead in Manila

A Chinese looking person shot dead the other one rush to the hospital by riding in tandem on Taft Ave.under the LRT station infront of the Araullo High School (Bob Dungo,jr) Death came like a thief in the night for two South Koreans yesterday, except it happened in broad daylight along busy Taft Avenue in front of a high school teaming with bystanders in Manila.

And the ultimate irony of the fatal shooting of Yan Yi Shou, 35 and Wu Huai Hong, 30, was that it took place just meters away from the headquarters of the Manila Police District along United Nations Avenue.

Two motorcycle-riding men opened fire on the Koreans in front of the Araullo High School, instantly killing Yan before speeding off to the shock of witnesses.

Two bystanders — Carla Joyce Chan, 24, a resident of Bacoor, Cavite and Abegael Amomonpon Conde, 19, single, a student of STI — were hit by stray bullets.

Chan and Conde’s conditions were still unknown at press time after they were brought to the Philippine General Hospital.

Yan was shot in the face while Wu, who was pronounced dead at the Manila Medical Center, sustained multiple bullet wounds in the body.

Accounts by witnesses said the two Koreans were walking casually when the motorcycle-riding men drew close them and fired.

Police investigators are looking at closed circuit television camera footage in and around the crime scene to identify the suspects although both wore helmets and jackets.
