Police Interview on Mis-Encounter

An earlier exclusive interview today with this paper with the three police officers of police precinct #4 of Carmen who was a victim of the so called mis-encounter with the security guards of saguitarius agency at nearby wall of Xavier High School located at pueblo de oro this city last Friday evening.

According to PO3 Roy Balase, Chief of the Intelligence Unit assigned at P#4 , a teacher identified as Mariane Butir who reported that there was a stalker wearing a wig and first reported it to the nearest guard house in the subdivision but the guard just laugh at her. So she decided to report it to the police.

After it was being reported, PO3 Roy Balase , PO2 Gerry Michael Baranda and PO2 Rowenico Jabla Doong Jr. went to the place and they saw this person who wears a wig and asked “ Kinsa ka ug nganong naa ka dinhi? and we introduced ourselves as police officers but this alleged decoy never give any attention to us and continue walking. By the time his wig was tip by PO3 Balase , immediately the decoy draw his .38 caliber pistol from his waist and ran for a cover. But his other companion or backed up was in a few meters away from us came out to the open and fired at us with his shotgun and resulted to the severe injuries suffered by PO3 Balase and PO2 Baranda, respectively.

PO2 Doong told this paper that It happened very fast , A few seconds a shot was fired then followed by another one then I thought my two buddies are the one who fired the shots but later , I saw my two buddies are severely injured. In the time of shooting, I hide in a small branch of a tree but when I tried to engage,I saw a gun pointing on me and what I did , I tell them we are the “Police”. After this , the shots stop and some of their companions or maybe backed up guards came out and as far as I can remember , they were more than nine of them carrying .38 caliber fire arms while approaching to where we are.

PO3 Balase during an interview with this paper, confirmed that a settlement was made by the Saguitatrius Agency and an amount of P30,000.00 was initially deposited to the hospital as a sign of good faith that they will be the one to shoulder all the hospital and medicine bills and other miscellaneous to the two police officers until the wounds will be completely healed.

He added that NO case will be filed against the two security guards of the said Agency because they accept it was really a mis-encounter and at 2pm today he will be having a second operation because there are two birdshot pellets still inside his leg. NO furthermore comment.
