Authorities investigate the Tacloban school shooting in which three people are killed, and two teenagers are arrested. The incident occurs around 9:20 a.m. on Monday, June 22, at San Jose National High School in Tacloban City. Reports say two suspects, both Grade 9 students aged 14 and 15, are taken into custody after the attack. The Department of Education and the Tacloban City government issue statements condemning the shooting and expressing concern over the incident.
In Manila, Senator Francis Pangilinan calls for the suspects not to be released even if they are minors. He cites the Juvenile Justice Law, specifically Republic Act No. 9344, in support of his position. Pangilinan also extends condolences to the families of the victims. The statements reflect political and institutional reaction to the killings and custody of the two arrested students, while authorities continue handling the case under applicable laws governing juvenile offenders.
