CAMP OLIVAS, City of Fernando, Pampanga – An wanted man was killed while a suspect was arrested for illegal possession of firearms and ammunition on Wednesday, Nov. 2, 2022, in separate police operations in Bulacan.
In a report to PRO3 (Police Regional Office 3) Director Brig. Gen. Cesar R. Pasiwen, Bulacan Police Commander Col.
