Cop, wife gunned down

COTABATO CITY — A policeman known for his efforts against drug trafficking and his wife were gunned down by unidentified men in broad daylight at a busy spot in Parang, Maguindanao yesterday.

SPO4 Armando Orden was on the driver’s seat of his owner-type jeep when one of the men casually approached him and shot him in the head.

Orden’s wife Erlinda was hit by a stray bullet in the chest. She died while being rushed to the hospital.

Parang police probers believe the couple’s killers were hired guns.
