The suspect, identified as Omar Arip Badon, reportedly resisted arrest and shot the officers during a sting in Barangay Pansol.
The suspect reportedly sold P400,000 worth of shabu to undercover agents.
Badon’s death is expected to reduce the supply of illegal drugs in the province, according to Senior Superintendent Eleazar Matta, Laguna police chief. – Ed Amoroso, Non Alquitran
