DAVAO CITY, Philippines (Xinhua) - Gunmen shot and killed a policeman in southern Philippines yesterday, police said today.

The victim, identified as Police Officer Dart Perez Revecho, was shot by two armed men as he stepped out of his home in Taft village, Surigao City in Surigao del Norte at 7:30 a.m., according to Martin Gamba, Caraga police regional spokesperson.

Gamba said bystanders rushed the victim to a local hospital but doctors declared him dead upon arrival. The suspects fled on a motorcycle to an unknown direction.

Authorities were investigating whether the killing was the handiwork of leftist insurgents or plain criminals, Gamba added.
