SAN PEDRO CITY – Two illegal drug suspects were killed in a buy-bust operation in Cavite City, while 20 others were arrested in various operations, the police said Friday.

A report from the Calabarzon police said suspects John Alex Quijano and Christopher Vermudez were the targets of an anti-drug operation in Barangay (village) 28 around 2:30 a.m. Friday.

During the sale, Quijano allegedly fired shots, prompting the police officers to shoot back in defense. They hit Quijano when Vermudez also opened fire.
