March 2 (UPI) -- A disgruntled former mall security guard in the Philippines was taken into custody Monday evening after an hours-long standoff during which he injured one person and took 30 others hostage before releasing them.
Archie Paray, 32, entered the Virra Mall in Manila on Monday morning, shot one security guard and held more than two dozen hostage inside an administrative office on the second floor, officials said. Hours of negotiation with an armed SWAT team led to his arrest after receiving a public apology from the company.
