Before the fatal shooting, Cuizon went to the police station to tell officers about the reported presence of armed men, and was informed the gunmen may be part of the film production. An officer accompanied him to the area anyway, which was behind the police station, "to protect the film shooting ... in case there really were armed men in the area," Relado said.

Cuizon was walking fast and reached the masked men on the motorcycle ahead of the officer, who told him the two were part of the cast.

"I don't know why he still accosted them," Relado said. "Just as he reached the motorcycle, the director signaled 'Action.' He thought they were going to escape that's why he grabbed (Abella) by the shirt and shot him immediately."

Cuizon told police he had borrowed the pistol he used _ a homemade .357 Magnum _ but refused to identify the owner, Relado said. Cuizon is in custody and will be charged Tuesday with homicide and violation of a gun ban, Relado said.
