A 41-year-old man was shot dead after allegedly attacking a responding police officer with a hammer and a knife during a domestic violence incident in Sta. Ana, Manila on Tuesday night, Feb. 10.
The Manila Police District (MPD) identified the suspect as Christopher Glenn Miralles, a resident of Jaime Cardinal Sin Village in Barangay 898, Punta, Sta. Ana.
Police said the incident stemmed from a 911 call for a domestic disturbance at around 9:25 p.m., prompting Pat. Reygie P. Pellas and Cpl. Jhonex C. Castillo of the Sta. Ana Police Station (PS-6) to respond to the area.
Upon arrival, the officers assisted Miralles and his wife, Anabelle Miralles, 40, and brought them before a barangay official to settle the dispute.
The wife reportedly requested a barangay protection order which was scheduled to be issued the following morning.
Authorities said Pat. Pellas later accompanied the woman back to her residence as she feared for her safety.
However, when she reached the third floor of their building, the suspect allegedly reappeared and attacked her, prompting her to flee inside their home.
Pat. Pellas was returning to his post on his motorcycle when a village guard informed him that the suspect had also returned to the area.

The officer immediately rushed back to the building.
Police said that as Pellas was about to dismount from his motorcycle, the suspect suddenly hit him on the head with a hammer and stabbed him on the left torso.
The officer tried to distance himself from his attacker but the suspect allegedly pursued him and tried to stab him again.
After slipping to the ground, Pellas drew out his service firearm and shot the suspect in self-defense, police said.
Additional responding officers arrived and rushed the suspect to the nearest hospital where he was declared dead on arrival by the attending physician.
Pellas was brought to the Philippine General Hospital for medical treatment.
Senior officers from Sta. Ana Police Station, led by Lt. Col. June Abrazado, along with investigators and personnel from the MPD Homicide Section, responded to the scene. Investigation is ongoing.
