What Really Happened In SM Pampanga Shooting Incident + Updates


Remember the shooting incident just a few weeks ago in SM Pampanga? It was all over the news, right at the heels of another shooting incident in another SM shopping mall where again there were rumors of infidelity and love triangle motivations.

Two minors named Jake Perez and Jonathan Salvador died just last Sept-22. The 13-year-old boy first shot his alleged lover, a 16-year-old boy, in the head. The boy, who used a caliber .22 pistol, then shot himself in the head. The victims were first rushed to the Jose B. Lingad Hospital. The younger boy was transferred to San Fernandino Hospital’s intensive care unit (ICU), while the other was sent to V.L. Makabali Hospital for a CT scan, and was brought back to Jose B. Lingad Hospital.




This video leaked a few days ago, showing that one of the boys was in fact alive when the police alive - note the movement of his leg. The police was intensely criticized for appearing nonchalant the whole time in this video. Although apparently the police were the ones who took the boys to the hospital. Even if both boys were not able to live through the incident.

ABS-CBN recently reported that the Pampanga Philippine National Police (PNP) already considers the SM shooting incident involving two minors a closed case despite possibilities raised by one of the victims' family.
The family claimed that a third party may be involved in the killing, as gleaned from an amateur video of the incident that made the rounds in the Internet last week. Pampanga PNP spokesperson Superintendent Jhoanna Rosales told ANC that all evidence gathered by police pointed to the 13-year-old victim as the one who shot his friend and ultimately, himself.
