Jason Ivler, the suspect in the killing of the son of a Malacañang official was finally arrested Monday morning. Operatives of the National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) arrested Ivler after a gunfight that injured an agent and allegedly, Ivler himself in Quezon City.

Initial reports showed that at around 7:35 am agents of the NBI arrested Ivler, who was allegedly hiding inside his room located at the basement of their residence in Blue Ridge Subdivision in QC.

Before the arrest, agents of the NBI were posted around the residence of Marlene Aguilar, after receiving a tip-off that Ivler had been "hiding" in the said mansion for several weeks now.

Using two ladders, several operatives went over the gate of the Aguilar residence and searched the entire house.

They were greeted by the protestations of Aguilar, who earlier claimed that she was not aware of the whereabouts of her son.

A wet towel, which was seemingly dumped hurriedly at the basement floor, however, tipped NBI agents further that "someone" was inside one of the basement rooms.

Because of this, NBI agents converged at the said area. When agents were about to arrest Ivler however, the latter allegedly open fired at the arresting team, hitting Special Investigator (SI) Anna Labao in the right leg.

Ivler, while being whisked out of the mansion, also seemed to have been hit. NBI lawyers were present during the NBI operation.

Ivler, was implicated in the killing of Renato Ebarle Jr., who was gunned along Boni Serrano, after figuring in a traffic altercation more than a month ago.
