Jeanette Sarador, 13, holds her father Leopoldo, 37, shortly after the shooting. Leopoldo (right), a tricycle driver, had picked up her daughter from her night school class and they were waiting at the tricycles’ stand for more passengers in Inayawan, Poblacion 3 when the gunman fired at him. In Wednesday’s violence, the gunman killed two drivers and wounded four others when he targeted only one person, Leopoldo.
