A militiaman was killed when gunmen fired at an Army detachment in Davao del Sur and two of the alleged attackers were killed during hot pursuit operations mounted by government forces, the military said Saturday.
Captain William Alfred Rodriguez, spokesman of the 1002nd Infantry Brigade, said militiaman Romeo Marila was shot in the head “when lawless armed men” fired at the detachment in Sitio Aliong, Barangay Kimlawis, Kiblawan town.
As soldiers went after the attackers, he said, they killed “lawless armed men … identified only by their aliases as Anting Peayay and Victor” and recovered two rifles.
Brigade commander Colonel Marcos Norman Flores said the detachment had been a target of harassment since January.
“[Police investigators are] still in the area conducting investigation while the troops have already coordinated with the local government unit and the community in order to provide appropriate assistance to those who died,” he said.
