POLICE anti-narcotics operatives killed three suspected drug pushers during an entrapment operation in Calaca, Batangas, Monday night.
A report reaching Canp Crame in Quezon City identified one of the slain suspects as Paolo Jhonnel Camantigue who died on the spot along with his two companions.
The buy-bust was carried out at around 8:30 p.m. on Monday in Sitio Sitio, Barangay Cahil in Calaca town. The cops bought some P6,000 worth of shabu from the suspects.
During the operation, the suspects allegedly sensed that they were dealing with policemen, prompting one of them to pull out a handgun and engaged the poseur buyer in a shootout.
Other policemen hiding nearby immediately responded, triggering a brief gun battle.
Confiscated from the suspects were a black Sports Utility Vehicle, three handguns, a hand grenade and several sachets of shabu.
