‘AFP soldiers vehicle ‘surrounded’ by cops before shooting,’ NBI reports to senators
The NBI stated this during the hearing on the incident conducted by the Senate committee on public order and dangerous drugs chaired by Sen. Ronald Dela Rosa. The NBI observed that the police officers involved in the shooting incident “strategically surrounded” the Montero sport that was used by Major Marvin Indamog, one of the soldiers who died in the incident.
Indamog and three other soldiers were tracking suicide bombers in the area when the police officers flagged them down in Barangay Walled City on June 29, after having identified themselves as members of the military. According to Gapay, the AFP finds the case “very unique,” considering that the coordination between the AFP and the PNP, in almost all other aspects in law enforcement has been very effective and their coordination is very close.
“Nag speculate tayo baka may drug angle diyan, okey sige baka nga may drug angle diyan. Or baka may nasagasaan din ang tropa namin. Di natin alam so those are mere speculation. Or baka may nag-utos niyan na, na tirahin na yan, projectin nyo . Those are mere speculation,” he said. “And I hope that the NBI would attest to that…If these facts are true and that they have been charged in court, and there is a commitment order and there is a warrant of arrest, then we would be glad to turn them over to the court that has jurisdiction over the case,” Gamboa said.
During the hearing, Mandangan admitted he fired at Indamog, saying he had to protect his life. According to Padjiri, Indamog alighted from the vehicle with an M4 rifle.
