Australian man killed in gun attack in Ilocos Sur

TUGUEGARAO, Cagayan, Philippines — An Australian man was gunned down by unidentified assailants in Sinait, Ilocos Sur on Monday. 

Reginald Hodgens, a building supervisor and surfing afficionado, was resting in front of his rented house in Barangay Katipunan when he was shot at around 7:45 a.m.

The victim, who had been staying in Ilocos Sur for the last three months, recently filed a complaint against a barangay official after they figured in a fistfight last month.
