STO. DOMINGO, Nueva Ecija – Three men from Cabanatuan City were killed in a Friday morning (Jan. 4) clash with policemen during a drug bust.
Eleazar Flores, one the fatalities, was the main target of the sting operation, the police said. They had yet to identify his two companions.
Undercover policemen from the Sto. Domingo police drug enforcement unit bought a sachet of shabu (crystal meth) from the suspects, before announcing that they were law enforcers.
Instead of surrendering, the suspects opened fire and were killed in the ensuing gun battle, a police report said. ARMAND GALANG
