OFF-DUTY COP OUTGUN 2 ARMED ROBBERS IN QC

An off-duty cop shot dead two armed robbers whom he tried to arrest during a robbery at a fuel service station last night in Quezon City.

Reports reaching the PNP National Operations Center (NOC) in Camp Crame disclosed that, the unidentified suspects arrived at Orange Fuel Gas Station along Quirino Highway on board a color black Suzuki motorcycle and posed as customers. The back rider alighted and proceeded to the cashier’s booth and at gunpoint, divested the cashier of the establishment day’s earnings.

Police Officer 2 Cesar Tolentino, assigned at Station Investigation Division Management Section in Caloocan City Police Station who at that time is waiting for his motorcycle to be filled-up, immediately responded to the incident after being informed by the gasoline boy. He cautiously approached the suspects, introduced himself as police officer and ordered them to surrender peacefully. However, the suspects boarded to the motorcycle and fled while the back rider fired his gun towards PO2 Tolentino. The latter sensing imminent danger found no option but to retaliate, and put a gun fight with the robbers.

The suspects were wounded and immediately brought by responding policemen to the East Avenue Medical Center for treatment but later on pronounced as dead by the attending physician. While the cashier of the Gasoline Station, witness of the incident arrived at the hospital and positively identified the slain suspects as the very same persons who held him up.

Recovered from the suspect is the firearm they used, a caliber .38 Shooter revolver loaded with four live ammunition and two fired cartridge cases on its cylinder. Further investigation is done by the Quezon City Police District. (PNP-PIO)
