Mistaken Identity? Kim Chiu, Napagkamalan Lamang ng mga Gunmen na Nang-Ambush

Actress Kim Chiu had a terrifying experience on March 4. While on her way to work, the 29-year-old 'Chinita Princess' was almost put in danger after several gunmen shot her van. All in all, eight shots were fired on the black van, but the bullets missed all of the passengers, including Kim, her personal assistant, and the driver.

Until now, authorities are still investigating the shooting incident. It occurred at Katipunan Avenue on broad daylight around 6 in the morning, and the riding-in-tandem immediately escaped afterward.

Apparently, it was a mistaken identity case. According to Kim Chiu's side, she was mistaken for another prominent figure who also lives in the subdivision. They also have the same color and model of van, which might be the reason why the gunmen thought they were the same individual.

Prior to this, some people were skeptical of the shooting incident, claiming that it was scripted. In an interview, Major Elmer Monsalve, Chief of Quezon City Police District-Criminal Investigation and Detection Unit, claimed that the gunmen were on standby while waiting for the van. As soon as they saw the black van emerged from the subdivision, they immediately tailed it.

"Kung papaano dumaan yung sasakyan nitong aktres na si Kim Chiu, makikita mo na nag-iisa lang siya. Tapos may biglang sumulpot na isang motor na naghihintay na doon sa subdivision. Nakaabang na talaga sa paglabas niya,

As of now, the authorities already have the CCTV footage which confirms that the gunmen were following Kim's van. A special task force was already appointed to investigate the ambush, and hopefully catch the perpetrators.
