Philippines: Pregnant woman, three teens among 7 shot dead in suspected drug feud

SEVEN people including three teens and a pregnant woman were shot dead by gunmen in a suspected feud involving drugs, Philippine police said.

Chief Superintendent Roberto Fajardo said Thursday one of four suspects in the Caloocan city shooting has been arrested, pinpointed by a survivor of the attack, the Associated Press reported.

Fajardo, the district police chief, said a group of young men were dancing in a house that is reportedly a drug den when the gunmen barged in Wednesday night and started shooting.
