(UPDATE) INVESTIGATORS are zeroing in on two to three possible motives behind Thursday's shooting of a tabloid photographer in Barangay Masambong in Quezon City. "There are two to three motives, we do not discount any possibilities... We saw in his Facebook page that he may have enemies," BGen. According to the Presidential Task Force on Media Security, Abiad was a witness of the police, as well as the Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency in a drug case. The National Union of Journalists of the Philippines (NUJP), meanwhile, condemned the photojournalist's shooting. "There is no justification for the shooting of a media worker, but we note news reports that Abiad had signed as witness in drug busts," the group said.
