KALIBO, Aklan – A woman in Barangay Bel-is, Buruanga, Aklan was hospitalized after being hit by a stray bullet past 12 midnight yesterday, police said.
The 45-year-old resident Noly Ursua sustained an injury on the right thigh.
She was rushed to the Malay Municipal Hospital in Barangay Motag and later transferred to the Dr. Rafael S. Tumbokon Memorial Hospital in this capital town for further treatment.
Ursua said she, her husband and their six children were already sleeping when the incident happened.
“Posibleng bala ng baril ang tumama sa akin mula sa bubong na yero ng bahay namin. Natutulog kami nang makaramdam ako ng pamamanhid ng binti,” Ursua said. She was still confined at the hospital as of this writing.
A surgical operation will be performed on Ursua to remove the bullet.
Police found a bullet hole at Ursua’s home. They were still investigating.
Meanwhile, records from the Dr. Rafael S. Tumbokon Memorial Hospital showed that six major firecracker-related incidents in the province were caused by whistle bombs.
The victims were residents of barangays Poblacion and Castillo in Makato, Barangay Pinamuk-an in New Washington, Barangay Jawili in Tangalan, Barangay Poblacion in Malinao, and Barangay Bulwang in Numancia, the records further stated.
A Barangay San Dimas, Malinao resident was also taken to the provincial hospital due to injury caused by a kwitis blast.
The Bureau of Fire Protection based in this capital town declared zero-fire related incidents during the New Year celebration. (Aklan Forum Journal/PN)
