Gunshots fired at Philippine Senate where Duterte ally resists ICC arrest

From Global News.

Philippine President Ferdinand Marcos Jr called for calm on Wednesday after gunshots were fired at the Senate, insisting his government had no involvement in the incident and did not know who was responsible.
 
It came as Ronald Dela Rosa, the chief enforcer in former Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte’s bloody "war on drugs", said on Facebook his arrest was imminent and urged people to mobilize to prevent his handover to the ICC.
 

Dela Rosa, who has taken refuge in his legislative office since Monday, called on the public to turn out and block his arrest, saying that law enforcement agents were on the way following the ICC’s unsealing of an arrest warrant. 

The warrant, dated November and made public on Monday, seeks the arrest of the former police chief on charges of crimes against humanity, the same crimes 81-year-old Duterte is accused of as he awaits trial in The Hague following his arrest last year. 

Marcos also said there was no instruction to arrest Senator Ronald Dela Rosa.
