“Accordingly, he shot himself. He boarded the car of his former aide and saw a gun there. He set the gun aside but it accidentally went off. There was no indication of damage to his bones so he is out of danger and was transferred to a hospital in Cebu,” PNP chief Director General Oscar Albayalde told reporters.
