The Philippine National Police (PNP) reports that both suspects in a fatal shooting at a Tacloban City high school tested positive for gunpowder residue. PNP public information chief Col. Allen Rae Co said the paraffin examination of the two suspects has been completed and that both returned positive results for gunpowder nitrate. The paraffin test is used to detect traces of gunpowder on a person’s hands, which may indicate recent firing of a firearm. The PNP made the statement in an interview on DZMM, describing the results as part of the ongoing investigation into the shooting. The sources do not provide additional details about when the test was conducted, the timing in relation to the incident, or whether the suspects are identified by name. The reported test outcome is one investigative element that may support claims about recent firearm discharge, while other evidence and findings would be needed to determine full responsibility and the circumstances of the attack.
