Philippine Senate guards investigated for firing shots as fugitive senator fled

Philippine Senate security officers are under investigation for firing their weapons without provocation. This occurred last week when Senator Ronald dela Rosa, who is wanted by the International Criminal Court, sought refuge within the Senate building. Dela Rosa was attempting to secure a court order from the Philippine Supreme Court to prevent his arrest by government agents. The senator, formerly the national police chief during the early stages of Rodrigo Duterte's anti-drug campaign, narrowly avoided apprehension before the incident involving the security officers.
