MANILA, Philippines (AP) — A shooting at a high school in the
southern Philippines on Friday left at least three young people
dead and six others injured, including the gunman, a local
official said.
Rolly Doane Aquino, a provincial disaster response official in
South Cotabato province, said three people were killed and six
others were hospitalized after the shooting at Banga National
High School in the town of Banga.
The Philippine National Police confirmed in a statement that
three people had died and several others had been wounded. The
circumstances of the shooting remained under investigation.
South Cotabato Gov. Reynaldo Tamayo said the gunman’s best
friend told officials that he was a member of a “true crime
community.” Tamayo said authorities would investigate the claim.
