Police killed the gunman who had taken hostage a group of Hong Kong tourists in Manila, a senior police official said.
“He is dead. He was forced to retreat to the front of the vehicle when the SWAT (special weapons and tactics police) team attacked from the back,” assault leader Superintendent Nelson Yabut told AFP.
The gunman, who was identified as sacked police inspector Rolando Mendoza, had seized the tourist bus on Monday morning in a desperate bid to get his job back.
