A 28-YEAR-OLD woman was shot in the stomach by her older sister in San Fernando town last Tuesday night.
Police said both women own competing stores in barangay Basak and that misunderstandings between them were a normal occurrence in the south Cebu town.
The victim, Anis Matmat Lison, survived the shooting and is confined in a Carcar City hospital.
Witnesses told police that her sister Virnalyn shot her about 6:30 p.m., said PO1 Salvador Saavedra of the San Fernando police precinct. The gun, a .38 caliber revolver was reportedly bought for P1,000 from a hardware store.
Anis was cleaning outside her house at 5 p.m. when her elder sister followed and placed her garbage in the canal. Both women started arguing, leading Anis to throw garbage at Virnalyn’s house, said police. Virnalyn also threw garbage at her sister, then went to their father’s house where she took a gun and shot her sister.
Virnalyn is detained in San Fernando police precinct pending the filing of charges against her.
