What info I found I could not really corroborate, so I did not write it in the description, but they claim this happened in Southeast Asia somewhere. The guy who walked up and started shooting initially wanted to steal the assault rifle from the security guard. But like I said, I don't know for sure if that is the actual story.

MATI CITY, Davao Oriental, Southern Philippines — A close circuit television camera captured an attack by New People’s Army guerrillas on a lone policeman posted at a bus terminal in this city in the evening of June 7, 2011.

The CCTV showed how Police Officer Alfredo Salva was killed at around 7:40 in the evening of June 7. Six persons with handguns approached the policeman and shot him.

Salva, however, managed to return fire with an Armalite rifle hitting two of the attackers.

Salva took bullets to his body leading to his death. One of his attackers, later identified as Ramil Sallenes alias Bunso from NPA Front Committee 18, also died from the wounds he sustained. Sallenes companion, who was identified as Ariel Manuray alias Commander Gary, was wounded and rushed to a hospital in Davao City.

Sanctuary

Mati Mayor Mitchelle Rabat earlier revealed that their coastal city was supposed to be a safe sanctuary for New People’s Army rebels who wanted to take rest and recreation.

But the rebels violated the sanctuary agreement after they attacked and killed Salva.

Rabat said that her father, the late mayor Francisco Rabat, had an understanding with the rebels to spare Mati from rebel atrocities and they could safely stay in Mati in return.

The lady mayor said she just continued that understanding with rebels upon her assumption four years ago. She said the police and military were aware of such arrangement and respected the understanding.

Rabat earlier dismissed fears of residents that the New People’s Army are planning to attack this city. Rabat clarified that the rebel attack was intended to get the rifle of the policeman.

Davao City Vice Mayor Rodrigo Duterte meanwhile supported the move made by Mayor Rabat to make Mati a sanctuary for all rebels and policemen and military alike where they could safely stay without fear of being killed by either parties.

In an interview on Tuesday, Duterte said he and Mayor Rabat’s late father, have similarities when it comes to dealing with the communist rebels.

“I have the same style as that of Rabat’s father. We establish working relationship that will promote peace in the community. If there’s a good relationship, it’s good,” Duterte said.

The vice mayor said declaring a sanctuary is okay for as long as both armed parties do not violate any laws while staying inside the sanctuary. Duterte said he has been employing a similar policy in Davao City for quite a time now, thus, Davao enjoys relatively peaceful environment that’s conducive to development and progress.
