Two dead as student opens fire in Philippines school shooting
A student carrying a high-powered firearm targeted classmates inside a classroom in the second school shooting in two months.
A school shooting in Zamboanga, southern Philippines resulted in two deaths and two injuries on Tuesday morning, local mayor Khymer Adan Olaso reported to DZMM. The perpetrator, a student armed with a high-powered rifle, opened fire in a classroom, killing their fellow student and themselves, while two other students were injured.
This marks the second school shooting in the country within a month, despite strict gun ownership regulations. Firearms occasionally enter unauthorized possession through the black market. Just this month, a Thai student killed six individuals and wounded over twenty others at a school in Bangkok, committing the country's deadliest school attack in recent times.
