Three dead and eight injured in Philippines school shooting

A school shooting occurred at Banga National High School in South Cotabato, Philippines, resulting in three deaths and eight injuries. The 16-year-old gunman, a student at the school, opened fire on classmates after warning peers earlier that day, though they dismissed his remarks as jokes. Authorities identified the deceased as two 14-year-old students and the shooter, who reportedly took his own life. The weapon, a 9mm gun belonging to the shooter’s father, a Department of Education employee, was stored in a locked vault. Local officials noted online posts glorifying school shooters and mentioned the shooter’s mother sought psychiatric care.
