DINALUPIHAN, Bataan – Lawmen are in the hunt for a police officer who allegedly wounded two men when he fired his service firearm in the middle of a heated argument at a wake in Barangay Roosevelt, Dinalupihan Tuesday evening, the Bataan Police Provincial Office reported Wednesday.
Senior Supt. Manuel Gaerlan, Bataan police director, said the Dinalupihan police had launched a manhunt even as criminal charges are being prepared against Police Officer 2 Mark Ryan Disesto of Camp Olivas in the City of San Fernando, Pampanga.
