Police pursuit operations are ongoing against a group of armed men who ambushed and killed four persons on Saturday afternoon in Maguindanao.

In his report to the police provincial office, investigator-on-case Police S/Sgt. Michael Lacsasa said the victims were on board a white multicab vehicle (MAB 2431) traversing the national highway in Barangay Tulunan of Datu Anggal Midtimbang town when ambushed by unidentified gunmen at 3:45 p.m.

Lacsasa identified the victims through their identification cards as Army Pfc. Heredin K. Kanakan, of Barangay Sta. Cruz, Koronadal City, Heredin Kamidon of Cotabato City, Fatima Usman of Muntinlupa City, and a still unidentified woman.

“We found 14 empty shells for (the) M16 rifle and .45-caliber pistol at the ambush site,” he said.

Also found from the slain victims were three sachets of suspected shabu items.

Lacsasa said they have “persons of interest” linked to the attack but declined to divulge further details pending police follow-up operations.
