The soldier told Daragosa to get his M16 rifle inside the detachment, but when the militiaman returned, he shot the duo without warning. Daragosa later shot and killed himself using the same weapon.
It was unknown what drove the militiaman to attack his companions, but police suspect grudge as the motive behind the killings. (With a report from Juley Reyes)
