Police Captain Adrian Binalay, 43, and Police Captain Tomas Batarao Jr. were identified as the fallen officers.

Binalay was assigned to the Criminal Investigation and Detection Group National Capital Region, while Batarao was recently placed under the Regional Police Holding and Administrative Section.

The suspects involved in the shooting were identified as Atty. Den, alias Ver, 52, and alias Ben, a retired sheriff.

Atty. Den was killed in the exchange of gunfire, while alias Ben was arrested at the Tagaytay Medical Center.

Another suspect, alias Ver, was apprehended shortly after.
