Police in the Philippines say two suspects open fire at a high school in Tacloban, in the central part of the country. The shooting kills three students and leaves additional victims wounded. Reports describe the suspects as young students and say police take both into custody shortly after the attack. One suspect is reported to be a student at San Jose National High School, where the shooting happens. The injured number is reported differently across outlets, with some accounts citing five wounded and others citing about seven, reflecting varying counts or updates from police. Several outlets also state the suspects have handguns.
Authorities are investigating the circumstances of the incident and the suspects’ motives. The reports also note that while firearms crimes are relatively common in the Philippines, shootings at schools are less frequent. No motive is stated in the available summaries, and the focus remains on the immediate police response, the arrest of the suspects, and the toll on students at the school.
