A shooting at a school in the Philippines kills at least two students and the gunman, according to multiple reports. Al Jazeera and Channel NewsAsia say three people are killed, while other outlets report two student deaths.
All sources agree the attack also injures several people, with reports citing at least eight wounded and some critically injured. The incident is described as the Philippines’ third deadly school or campus shooting since June, with earlier fatal shootings also reported at schools.
Outlets differ mainly on the casualty count: some state two students died, while others include the gunman in the total and report three deaths overall. Sydney Morning Herald, The Age, and Brisbane Times emphasize that school shootings are previously rare in the country, framing the event within a broader recent pattern of attacks. Channel NewsAsia and Al Jazeera focus on officials’ accounts that include the gunman among the dead.
