BACOLOD City – What the police called an “ambush” of an antidrug officer yesterday turned against a resident of Barangay Rizal, San Carlos City, Negros Occidental.
Christopher Pacana of Phase 3 Fatima Village was wounded after Police Officer 3 Alvin Gutang Allarce fired at him.
Police identified Pacana as a “suspected drug personality” targeting Allarce, chief of the San Carlos City police station’s City Drug Enforcement Unit.
Allarce was driving a vehicle while on duty when Pacana waylaid and fired at the police officer, according to Superintendent D’Artagnan Katalbas Jr., San Carlos police chief.
Pacana missed, giving Allarce a chance to fire back, investigation showed.
The 38-year-old Pacana sustained a gunshot wound on the left side of the body.
He was rushed to the San Carlos City Hospital for treatment.
Police said the trade of gunshots between the 42-year-old Allarce and Pacana happened at around 12:15 a.m. in Barangay Rizal. Both lived in the same barangay.
The following were recovered from the crime scene:
* three empty shells of a .45 pistol
* an empty shell of a .9mm pistol
* a .45 Colt (serial no. 871193) loaded with four live bullets
‘NPAs’ BURN TRACTOR

Driver Manuel Sevilla Jamandre, 60, informed the police about the incident that transpired at around 3:45 p.m. on Monday, said Chief Inspector Irma Teoxon, La Castellana police chief.
“Amo niyo na di ang may sala. Wala sa gahatag sa amon. NPA ni,” Jamandre quoted the armed men as saying while they ordered him to disembark from the tractor.
They told Jamandre to open the vehicle’s fuel tank and one of them set the tractor on fire before retreating to a mountainous area in the town, police said.
