TWO people, including a police officer, were wounded in a shootout that ensued while the policemen were serving a search warrant in the province of Zamboanga del Sur, the police reported Thursday.
Senior Superintendent Michael Nicolas, Zamboanga del Sur police director, said the shootout took place around 4:30 a.m. Tuesday at Purok 4 in the village of Poblacion, Guipos municipality.
Nicolas identified the victims as Inspector Augustus Rosendo and Pahima Betor, the wife of Nicholas, who is the subject of the search warrant.
Nicolas said the shootout ensued when Betor (Nicholas) opened fire, hitting Rosendo after the policemen barged into the residence of the Betors when they ignored the lawmen despite introducing themselves properly.
He said Betor ran and managed to elude arrest, while his wife, Pahima, was hit in the crossfire during the shootout.
He said Rosendo and Pahima were taken to the hospitals for treatment while manhunt was launched in a bid to arrest Betor.
