Quoting the witnesses who claimed to hear 8 to 10 successive gunshots, the police officers said that the guns used were automatic pistols that could not have come from their 9mm firearms.
“After the gunshots were cleared, uniformed personnel started entering the subject house and found the suspects lying on the floor. I then ordered the police officers present to bring the suspects to the hospital for medical treatment,” read one of the counter-affidavits. They also said they already heard successive gunshots when they arrived at the area. After the gunshots stopped, they saw some of their companions carrying the Evangelista couple which were taken to the Apacible Memorial Hospital.
All the police officers denied that they were wearing bonnets as claimed by the NBI in their complaint.Citing testimonies of the witnesses claiming they saw 20 to 50 uniformed personnel in the area meant that “we were not the only persons last seen with the suspects.”
