A disturbed man ran amuck Wednesday hacking 11 people, including a five-year old boy, at Barangay Amduntog, Asipulo town in Ifugao. The boy died from hack wounds. Davis Dulnuan Bullong, 44, from Barangay Antipolo, Asipulo, police said, was in jail from 2001 to 2013 for frustrated murder. Asipulo town police chief Capt. Francisco B.

neutralized by the police as he entered the Asipulo Elementary School.
His victims were identified as Aldrick Hagada, barangay captain of Amdumtog; Michael Tucal; Tomas Tayaban; Ezperanza Tadao; Jenariz Dinamling; Melanie Pihlo and Jocelyn Tagnaon, the mother of the 5 year old boy. Tagnaon’s other two sons— aged three and six year old, whose names were withheld by authorities, were also victimized. Buyuccan said that the incident were reported to the police after Bullong had hacked people in two sitios before going to the barangay hall of
Amduntog hacking his other victims there.
The police said that the suspect again hacked another two in his way to the school. Buyuccan claimed Bullong was intercepted by responding policemen at the school. He was shot at the leg.
The victims and the suspect were rushed to the Panopdopan District Hospital in Lamut, Ifugao and the Region 2 Trauma Center. Bullong, who died at the hospital, Buyuccan said, was reportedly having hallucinations, though there are no medical records indicating his mental status.
