A grandfather was stabbed by his grandson outside his home at Sitio Tacong, Barangay Sikatuna, Isabela in Negros Occidental, early Tuesday morning.
Local police identified the victim as 59-year-old Danilo Quirante, a resident of the said sitio.
According to authorities, Quirante heard a gunshot, prompting him to inspect the immediate area surrounding his home. Upon shouting, “Who fired a gun?” he was stabbed by his grandson, identified as 27-year-old Junrey Gador, a resident of Sitio Inakpan in the said barangay.
