MANILA, Philippines – Here’s a case of New Year revelry gone too far.
A video circulating on Facebook shows a group of men taking turns to indiscriminately fire their guns to the sky on New Year’s Eve. At least 6 shots were fired.
Facebook user Drew Lutchina originally uploaded the video on his page but the account was deactivated after the post went viral.
A concerned citizen sent a copy of the original version of the video, as well as screen grabs of Lutchina’s timeline, to Rappler.
We’re reposting the video below in the interest of public service:
Other posts of the user on the wee hours of Thursday, January 1, show his friends holding a water dipper filled with bullets.
According to screen grabs of his Facebook account, the person who posted the video lives in the town of Narvacan in Ilocos Sur and works as a collector for an appliance center.
The video has since been reposted in a gun club page on Facebook, where netizens expressed their outrage over the illegal act.
Members of the page called the incident irresponsible, with some calling for action from authorities.
As of Sunday morning, January 4, the Philippine National Police has recorded 43 injuries due to stray bullets.
