DAGUPAN CITY — A suspected drug dealer was killed on Tuesday night when he resisted arrest at a buy-bust operation, police said.

Supt. Christopher Abrahano, police chief, said Oscar Abella was shot and killed at 10:30 p.m. when he pulled out his gun and fired at the authorities, narrowly missing one of the policemen, said Supt. Christopher Abrahano, city police chief.

Abrahano said the buy-bust operation was conducted in Barangay Tebeng, an interior barangay (village) here.

Abella’s still unidentified companion escaped on a motorcycle, abandoning Abella who fell off after he was shot.

Abella is the third drug suspect to be killed here since Monday, when two drug personalities were killed in Barangay Bonuan Gueset after a shootout with policemen.  SFM
