Cops shoot 8 robbers
Philippine police fatally shot eight suspected robbers north of Manila in a second deadly shootout this month, officials said yesterday.
Acting on a tip, police were following the suspects on Sunday when they broke into a businessman's house in Tarlac province, triggering a clash that killed two men, said Chief Superintendent Leon Nilo de la Cruz.
