One dead in Mandaluyong City Shoot-out

From Rappler;

Police fired at a white SUV, a white Mitsubishi Adventure with plate number WNX 737, at around 10:25 pm at Barangay Pleasant Hills. They later recovered a body from the SUV.

Philipppine National Police (PNP) Senior Superintendent Moises Villaceran Jr, the Mandaluyong City police chief told reporters the shootout appeared to have been a case of mistaken identity. A woman was shot in Addition Hills earlier this evening, and the men in the white van brought the woman in their vehicle in an attempt to help.

PNP really messed this up.

Here’s an amateur video from CNN Philippines.

As far as I know, PNP should have at least “inform the suspects that the Police are after them through the use of siren or megaphone and instruct the driver to pull over or stop on the side of the street;”

Unless PNP revised it, you can read all about the Revised PNP Operational Procedures here.
