LEGAZPI CITY –– A suspected drug pusher was killed in a shootout with the police on Thursday night in a drug sting in Polangui town in Albay province, a police report said Friday.

The report said Raymond Magsumbol, a resident of Barangay San Agustin in Libon town, also in Albay, was selling suspected “shabu” (crystal meth) to a police undercover agent in Barangay Sugcad at 9:15 p.m.

Sensing that he was about to be arrested, Magsumbol immediately drew and fired his pistol, prompting the police to fire back and hit the victim, the report said.
