After being fired, a guard shoots a man and takes 30 hostages

Armed police and negotiators have arrived at the scene and have started talks with the shooter after he opened a fire at the mall, more precisely in its administrative office, where he even put the hostages in.

He's holding a cast. He's screaming he's got a grenade but we don't have any shape to confirm that, said Francis Zamora, chairman of Manila before the reporters this morning, writes Independent, translates Periscope.

The man shot was in the hospital but had not been badly injured and reportedly his condition was good.

The police negotiator is trying to talk to the kidnapper, but who has asked me to speak to the media and other security guards in the mall.

He felt bad because he had left work as a guard,” said Mr. Zamora, adding that he had tried but had failed to take another guard into hostage-taking. /Periscope
