Filed Under EN
Family problems reportedly led a member of the police elite Special Action Force to allegedly kill himself Sunday at the headquarters of the 6th Special Action Battalion in Sagay City, Negros Occidental.
Supt. Edel Jose Manzano, Sagay City police chief, identified the victim yesterday as Police Officer Alexander Galicia,29, of San Remegio, Antique, who succumbed to a gunshot wound in the chest.
Initial investigations of the Sagay police showed that Galicia tried to shoot himself in the head, with a Glock 9mm pistol. Two of his colleagues at the SAF barracks managed to divert the gun, but Galicia managed to point and fire the gun at his chest, Manzano said.
He was declared dead on arrival at the Lopez District Foundation Inc. hospital by Dr. Karlo Seneres, he added.
Manzano said their initial investigations showed that the incident was triggered by family problems.*GPB
