All hostages have been released unharmed from Greenhills Mall, and the former security guard responsible for the standoff has surrendered to authorities. He was attacked by an unknown person right after.
Roughly 30 people were taken hostage by disgruntled former security guard Archie Paray on Monday afternoon. He was reportedly armed with a pistol and four hand grenades, but following discussions with San Juan City Mayor Francis Zamora, Paray agreed to lay down his arms and release the hostages unharmed.
“You have to leave behind your gun and grenades. You can’t come with the grenades. But I guarantee your safety,” Zamora reportedly said to Paray shortly before he surrendered to the authorities.
