A military police officer was shot and killed during a shootout with an alleged drug-trafficking gang in the capital’s Tuol Kork district yesterday afternoon.

In a video released to local media of the incident on Street 351, at least two gunshots can be heard during the standoff. Soon afterwards, officers drag two suspects out onto the pavement and kick them before putting them in a police vehicle.

Military police spokesman Eng Hy said officers arrested three suspects, with the ringleader shot and killed. “One military police member was also shot dead,” Hy said yesterday evening, adding that the officer, who was not identified, was taken to hospital but died soon afterwards.
