Two suspected hitmen were killed in a shootout with policemen in San Jose City, Nueva Ecija last Thursday.
The fatalities were identified as a certain “Bong” and a certain “Big Boy.”
Police Brig. Gen. Valeriano de Leon, director of the Central Luzon police, said they launched an operation after they received intelligence reports about the activities of members of a gun-for-hire syndicate operating in Nueva Ecija and nearby areas.
He said police chanced upon the two suspects in Barangay Sto. Tomas in San Jose City. A gunfight ensued in which the two suspects were killed.
Recovered from them were two .45 pistols, an SUV, and a motorcycle. (With a report from Liezle Basa Inigo)
