A high school student in the southern Philippines kills a fellow student and then takes his own life during an attack at a school campus, police and officials say. Multiple outlets report the student is armed with two pistols and livestreams the incident using a body-worn camera.
Authorities say the attack occurs on the campus of a high school affiliated with Ateneo de Zamboanga University in Zamboanga City, where hundreds of students evacuate. Zamboanga City Mayor Khymer Adan Olaso says the suspect initially fires at a teacher, though it is unclear whether the teacher is hit, before shooting the classmate who dies. BBC and other outlets similarly report that the alleged shooter later commits suicide.
Some coverage also places the event in a broader regional and recent context, including references to other deadly school shootings in nearby countries and in the Philippines in the preceding months. Reporting varies in emphasis—several outlets focus on the livestreaming and the sequence of shots, while others foreground the location and the fact it is a second fatal school shooting in the country within a short period.
