FEU star Baracael shot, in critical but stable condition

FAR EASTERN University mainstay Mac Baracael was shot tonight, July 24, 2008.

Baracael was reported to have been with teammates Ron Cabagnot and Robert Kave outside the FEU gym when a car drove by and a shot simultaneously heard.

After Cabanot and Kave looked around, they saw a bloodied Baracael on the ground. The shooting occurred at the corner of Morayta and R. Papa streets, near a Philtrust bank branch.

Cabagnot and Kave said that they did not see who fired the shot. Reports say that Baracael was shot twice at the back with a .45 caliber, with the bullets penetrating his body. Reports also say that one of his lungs was punctured.

As of presstime, Baracael is in critical but stable condition at the Mary Chiles Hospital in Sampaloc, Manila.

According to FEU coach Glen Capacio, Baracael is in “stable condition but still under observation.” FEU representative to the UAAP board Anton Montinola, for his part, called his player’s situation “delicate.”

This is a horrific and unfortunate incident that warrants our thoughts and prayers.

inboundpass.com is one with Baracael’s family, loved ones and the entire FEU and basketball community in praying for his speedy recovery.

    Ateneo_Jmart,

    Goodbye comment. This column is my business and I wont let your comments affect the image of those who have intelligent posts.

    Maybe I should send your IP address to the investigators so that they can check out this unabashed anger that you have.

    Ateneo_Jmart,

    I will delete your comments as fast as you post them. One more comment like that and I will ask the Websit administrator to ban you.

    Hey asshole, does the initial RCM or maybe CM sound familiar?

    @ Ateneo_Jmart

    Your demeanor suggests you’re not even an Atenean. I am a proud La Sallian but I know enough to know that a real Atenean is worthy of respect and will never stoop so low and post comments as you have in a public forum.

    The world would be a better place without people like you.

    Anyway, I am sure The Green Mind will delete both your posts soon.

    To Mac Baracael…my sympathy goes with you…get well soon!

    I have deleted that comment. People like that are not practicing their freedom of speech but rather abusing it. This is my column and I will not tolerate language and demeanor such as that,

    @Ateneo

    Foul yan pare ko walang ganyanan dito. Bagsak na nga yun tao gaganyanin mo pa. Don’t hide in disguise of Ateneo and don’t ruin the name of a fine institution. No comment ka na lang mas mabuti pa para sa lahat. Salamat po.

    @Ateneo, Jesus! Have some decency naman. I know you are not from Ateneo.

    Nobody deserves to be shot or be ridiculed in a public forum. Don’t use a person’s unfortunate experience as a means to your own purpose.
