Philippine National Police spokesman Chief Superintendent Agrimero Cruz Jr. said the two still unidentified suspects, clad in security-guard uniform, attacked two bank guards while they were walking inside mall on their way to deliver an undetermined amount of money to Sanrys Money Changer located at the mall’s ground floor at around 10:15 a.m.
Cruz identified the fatality as Rodrigo Villa, a security guard inside the mall.
Critically injured was Roderick Reloso, also a security guard. Also wounded were Paul Adrian, Johansen Donesia, Rabe Jeremy and Leah del Mundo, Cruz said.
The victims were rushed to Medical City and Rizal Medical Center for treatment, Bolalin said.
It was not clear how the robbery went although Mandaluyong police chief Superintendent Armando Bolalin said the victim carrying the money could have been robbed at gunpoint as indicated by several empty shells of a .45-caliber gun recovered at the crime scene.
He said the suspects lobbed two grenades as they fled with an undetermined amount of money.
“They hurled two grenades, but only one exploded. The other one is still intact, but already without a pin,” Bolalin said.
The suspects reportedly escaped on board a motorcycle.
In a statement, Rose Ann Villegas, head of the public relations office of Robinsons Land Corp., said at least two armed men “forcibly” entered the mall, attacked the guard stationed at the mall entrance and then followed the Security Bank officers who were delivering the money.
“It was so fast. To describe it, it was like zoom in and zoom out,” she said, adding that the mall was still closed to customers at the time of the incident.
She said the mall was closed for few hours after the incident and has since reopened to the public.
