2 shabu peddlers dead, cop wounded in clash
Two suspected drug peddlers, Harold Elum and Melvin Flores, were killed in an anti-drug operation in Zamboanga City on Monday night, September 22.
They were known traffickers of shabu and marijuana with connections in far-flung barangays.
The operation, intended as a sting, turned violent when the suspects attacked undercover police officers with knives and a machete.
Police Senior Master Sgt. Ajlen Julkarnain sustained injuries during the confrontation and was taken to a hospital for treatment.
Authorities recovered heat-sealed plastic sachets containing shabu from the pockets of the deceased suspects, estimated to be worth no less than P34,000.
