Canadian national shot dead while he was with his pregnant wife in EDSA

8 Mar, 2017
Canadian national shot dead while he was with his pregnant wife in EDSA

Canadian national Nanthakumaran Kumarasamy was stuck in traffic with his pregnant wife , when a gunman approached their car and shot the 55-year-old.

His 24-year-old wife, who did not want to be named, said that the incident happened while they were stuck in traffic along EDSA in Pasay City, when a lone gunman went up to their vehicle and shot her husband.

She added that right before the gunman went up to them, she saw the gunman standing on the center island before walking up and shooting her husband.

Thankfully, she as well as her unborn child are safe and they were not hurt in any way by the man who killed her husband.

He was declared dead upon arrival

After the incident, the suspect reportedly fled, and his whereabouts are currently unknown. Kumarasamy was immediately taken to the nearby San Juan de Dios hospital, where sadly, he was declared dead upon arrival.

He died because of the gunshot wound that he received on his neck.

An investigation is currently going on regarding the case. So far, there’s currently no motive for the killing.

Keep you and your family safe at all times

Parents are responsible for their children’s safety, which is why it should always be a top priority. Here are some safety tips to keep you and your family safe.

  1. When you’re inside a vehicle, make sure to keep the doors locked, and the windows up. You never know when someone might attempt to steal your car or hurt your family, so it’s always best to keep yourselves secure.
  2. Use child safety seats for your kids. Child safety seats save lives, so make sure to get one that’s suited for your child’s age and size, and keep them buckled in and secure.
  3. Always keep an eye on your kids. Kids might want to be independent and try to do things without their parents’ supervision, but it’s important for moms and dads to always keep an eye on their kids, especially if they’re in the mall, or in a theme park.
  4. During swimming, stay close to your kids, even if they know how to swim. Don’t let your children stay too far if you’re swimming, always keep them close so that you’re always there if something happens to them.
  5. Make sure that your home is safe from fires. Check the wirings inside your home, and make sure to turn of the gass when you’re not using it.
