TANAY, Rizal – An unidentified man was slain following a shootout with local cops manning a checkpoint along the Manila East Road in this locality.
According to a police spot report, a certain Corporal Buenaventura of the Baras Police Station was wounded by the suspect who was on board a motorcycle driven by another person.
The local police said that uniformed cops manning the checkpoint (at the Sagbat-Pililla segment of the Manila East Road) tried to flag down the suspects as part of the routine inspection. The unidentified motorcycle rider however refused to pull over. Hence, a chase ensued.
The backrider allegedly fired shots at the chasing policemen, hitting Buenaventura who was then with team leader Pat. Rey Dolendo returned fire and eventually killed one of the suspects.
A manhunt for the companion of the slain suspect is underway.
