00:00John Amores, a professional basketball player, was again included in the controversy.
00:05That was after he was shot by an opponent in a basketball game in Lumban, Laguna.
00:10Amores did not comment when he surrendered to the authorities.
00:13Here is the news of Bea Pinla.
00:17In the pool of the CCTV when the motorcycle went down,
00:21John Amores, a PBA player in Parangay Maytalang Uno, Lumban, Laguna,
00:26He was carrying a gun and this man chased him and shot him.
00:31The motorcycle driver is Amores' 20-year-old brother.
00:37According to the police, the victim was not hit by a bullet.
00:41It was said that the victim and Amores were fighting in a basketball game
00:45and were later taken home for shooting.
00:47According to the police investigation, they lost more than P4,000 in the game.
00:54They had a call that it was not a match.
00:57He chased the opponent in Barangay Salak.
01:00Then our suspect left first.
01:05Then the victim followed.
01:08Until they reached Barangay Maytalang.
01:12That's where they reached.
01:14They chased another opponent.
01:17Then John Amores carried a gun and shot the victim.
01:22John Amores' brother went to Barangay Salak to play basketball.
01:27According to a resident there,
01:29John Amores and the victim were fighting in the basketball court
01:33and were later taken home for shooting.
01:35It was not a match.
01:37Maybe they were just fighting.
01:43After a few minutes, they were taken home for shooting.
01:47I thought it was over.
01:49But later...
01:52There was a commotion.
01:53One of them, I don't know if it was Amores' brother,
01:56he had something in his bag,
02:01in his motorcycle, in his u-box.
02:03After a few hours of searching for the brothers,
02:07they eventually surrendered to the police at 2 a.m.
02:12He voluntarily surrendered to our station
02:16because there was a threat to their lives.
02:22That was their only decision.
02:25They were afraid of their safety.
02:29The suspects covered their faces and covered their mouths.
02:34Sir, why did you shoot one of the items in the basketball court?
02:42We were looking for your gun.
02:44Sir, can you give us a statement about what happened?
02:49Amores was charged with attempted murder.
02:53In 2022, Amores was found to be a player of Jose Rizal University
02:59in the middle of their game against the College of St. Benilde in NCAA.

03:20He tried to kill my son.
03:23He tried to kill my son.
03:29He tried to kill my son.
03:30Can he do it again?
03:33He tried to approach the victim's mother,
03:35but she was blocked by the police.
03:37She was calmed down by the police.
03:39The mother of the victim did not show her son
03:43because she knows that he will be angry if he finds out what happened.
03:46The mother was only informed about this even though her sons hid it from her.
03:50She was determined not to get involved with Amores.

04:00regarding the murder of John Amores.
04:02They will not comment on the case because it is being investigated by the police.
04:07But they said that the incident is very sad.
