LEGAZPI CITY — A suspected drug trader was killed in a buy-bust operation in Naga City, Camarines Sur province on Wednesday night.

In a report, Senior Master Sergeant Tobias Bongon, spokesperson for Naga City police, said suspect Angelo Fernandez sold a sachet of “shabu” (crystal meth) for P15,000 to an undercover agent  in Barangay Concepcion Pequena at 10:34 p.m.

But when the suspect sensed that he was transacting with an undercover agent, he drew his caliber .45 pistol and fired twice at responding police officers, prompting the authorities to retaliate.

Fernandez sustained gunshot wounds that caused his death.

A total of 50 grams of shabu were recovered from the slain suspect.
