Police in Eastern Visayas say one of the two minor suspects in the Tacloban City school shooting had previously played an online video game described as violent. In statements reported by multiple outlets, Police Regional Office Eastern Visayas (PRO 8) director Brig. Gen. Jason Capoy says investigators identified the game as “GoreBox,” which he describes as a shooting game featuring firearms and violent content. The reports come as police examine whether the game may have influenced the suspect’s behavior. The incident occurred at San Jose National High School in Tacloban City, where the attackers opened fire and killed people, according to coverage describing the case as fatal and involving two male Grade 9 students aged 14 and 15. While outlets consistently note the police claim about the suspect’s prior play history, they also frame the connection as part of an ongoing investigation rather than a confirmed cause. Rappler and other sources add further background by describing the game as an R18+ title called “GoreBox.”
