00:00Kapwa Police was shot by two police in a rescue operation in Angeles, Pampanga

00:05where one of them was injured after he was shot in the chest.

00:11The PNP denied that there was a cover-up in the actual operation.

00:16This is what Patrick De Jesus reported.

00:19The PNP confirmed that Kapwa Police was the one who was shot by two police

00:30while conducting a rescue operation on two Chinese nationals who were victims of kidnapping in Angeles, Pampanga on August 3.

00:39Police Staff Sergeant Nelson Santiago was killed here after he was shot in the chest.

00:46While injured, Police Master Sergeant Eden Hakad was jailed in the custody of the PNP Anti-Kidnapping Group,

00:54the PNP was shot by a police with a rank of patrolman

00:57where he was charged with reckless imprudence resulting in homicide and serious physical injury.

01:03According to the PNP, the shooting incident was already in the clearing of the operation.

01:09Immediately after the incident, the one who was shot was the one who brought him to the hospital.

01:18Right there and there, he came forward and admitted that he was the one who was shot.

01:26It turns out that the slug that was recovered from Sergeant Santiago's body matched the police's gun.

01:36He accidentally squished the trigger that hit the two policemen.

01:42The Champang Police will also investigate the operation where they were shot first.

01:48The PNP will also conduct a re-evaluation of their police operation

01:53to avoid similar lapses that resulted in a friendly fire.

01:58The PNP will now look into the lack of a team leader in terms of planning

02:04on how to enter and assault the rented apartment where the victims will be rescued.

02:11Of course, including the equipment.

02:13Because the one who was shot, Sgt. Santiago, did not have bullet vests.

02:18That's why the bullet was not accurate.

02:21Imagine, it was a 5.56mm armalite bullet.

02:25The PNP also denied that there was a cover-up in the actual incident

02:29because the police immediately filed a case against them.

02:33The PNP Internal Affairs Service's pre-charge investigation into the incident has also been launched.
