Egyptian school administrator killed in Zamboanga gun attack
COTABATO CITY, Philippines — A gunman killed an Egyptian national in an attack at the border of Barangays Lumbangan and Divisoria in Zamboanga City on Saturday night, November 29.
Local executives and officials of different police units in Zamboanga City, under Brig. Gen. Edwin Quilates, director of the Police Regional Office-9, told reporters on Sunday that the Egyptian Abdalrahman Elshawadfy Mohammed Elfaky died from multiple gunshot wounds sustained in the attack.
Civilian emergency responders and police investigators said Elkafy is the administrator of the Asia Academic School in Barangay Tetuan in Zamboanga City.
He was driving his grey Toyota Innova when he was flagged down and shot repeatedly with a pistol by a lone attacker who immediately escaped using a getaway motorcycle, according to initial reports from barangay officials and investigators who responded to the incident.
Elfaky's family resides in Matina Aplaya, a coastal area in Davao City in Region 11.
Co-workers of Elfaky in the school where he worked said he was on his way to Barangay Lumbangan when he was killed by an assailant, whose identity police probers and intelligence agents are now trying to determine with the help of barangay and city officials.
