A suspected motorcycle-riding robber was gunned down while his companion was seriously wounded following an encounter with police operatives in Makati City early Friday.
The suspects had engaged police in a brief chase from a checkpoint in Barangay Palanan to the Magallanes area, radio dzBB’s Mao dela Cruz reported.
Initial investigation showed the incident started at 6:30 a.m., when the motorcycle-riding men tried to speed away from a checkpoint at Barangay Palanan.
When the suspects reached Magallanes, they chanced on a team from the Makati police’s intelligence operations unit conducting an operation.
One of the motorcycle-riding men then allegedly tried to fire at the policemen, prompting the policemen to fire back.
The motorcycle then went out of control and crashed.
Police said one of the suspects was declared dead on arrival at the Ospital ng Makati while the other sustained “serious” injuries and was brought to the Pasay City General Hospital.
Police have tightened checkpoint operations in time for the coming May 13 elections. — ELR, GMA News
