Ambassador Sung Kim (@USAmbManila) August 22, 2017 US Ambassador Sung Kim on Tuesday called for justice to be served in the case of 17-year-old Kian Loyd Delos Santos, who was killed in an anti-drug operation in Caloocan City a week ago. In a post on Twitter, Kim also expressed his sympathies Delos Santos' loved ones. "My condolences go out to the family and friends of Kian. Hope that the investigations lead to full accountability," Kim tweeted. Delos Santos was killed in an alleged drug operation in Caloocan City. Police officers claimed that he tried to run and even shot at them with a .45 caliber pistol. This, according to the cops, prompted them to fire back. Delos Santos suffered three gunshot wounds that Public Attorney's Office chief Persida Acosta said were all fatal. The teenager's death has generated outrage among Filipinos after a CCTV video showed him being dragged by policemen instead of him running away as they earlier claimed. The killing has placed in bad light President Rodrigo Duterte's war on drugs. The three policemen that figured in the drug operation have been placed under restrictive custody. ?NB, GMA News
