The routine apprehension of two motorcycle riders who were wearing neither face masks nor helmets in Parañaque City on Sunday led to a shootout that killed a policeman and one of the suspects.

According to Emil Sumangil’s report on “24 Oras,” three cops were responding to a complaint about loud karaoke singing in Baclaran when they came across Moamar Sarif and Joven Viña, who were aboard a motorcycle without protective gear.

When they were stopped, Sarif stepped down from the motorcycle and engaged one of the policemen in a scuffle as Viña sped away from the scene.

Sarif fired multiple shots at the cops as he was fleeing, hitting Police Lieutenant Armand Melad and Police Corporal Allan Baltazar.
