BAGUIO, Philippines – A 14-year-old boy in Ifugao was killed Monday afternoon, April 30, after he was shot by a cousin with an airgun during a botched hunting trip.

Freddie Mar Tangid of Barangay Olilicon, Lagawe, Ifugao, went with his cousin, also 14 years old, at about 2 pm Monday to the nearby rice fields, apparently to hunt birds.
