Police shootout near our office

There was a shootout near our office (Buendia near Pasong Tamo right in front of KFC and Caltex) earlier this day around noon. The window blinds were down so I thought it was just going to rain that time because the gunshots sounded like thunderclaps. I just saw the aftermath through the windows in our office.
MAPSA are now given the “shoot-to-kill” order to anyone violating Makati traffic rules. Hehehe.
My other officemates were down at the 8th floor taking a cigarette break so they heard and saw the whole thing. Two of the 6 robbers in motorcycles were gunned down by members of the SWAT team waiting in Buendia near Pasong Tamo.
Here’s the story from Inquirer and another one here.

OMG! Nowadays, robbing and killing is just usual. Can’t they stretch their ass and work?!
calvin: yeah… robbing is becoming rampant these days. big time robbery pa.
i heard about this news the other day. do you think this was an inside job? how else can the robbers know that 2 people withdrew a total of P2.7M if they didn’t get a tip from someone in Metrobank? At least, no bystanders died.
calvin: inside tip most probably. dami nang ganyang MI. oo nga eh, eng eng mga police, nakipagbarilan sa naka motor eh ang dami kaya pwendeg tamaan. alam ko isang gulong ng bmw natamaan ng bala.
