High School Shooting in Philippines: 3 Killed

A regular morning at San Jose National High School in Tacloban took a tragic turn when gunfire erupted inside the campus, leaving three dead and five injured. The assault triggered a swift security lockdown, concluding with the capture of a ninth-grade student and the surrender of a second attacker. As medical teams treated the wounded at local hospitals, heavily armed security forces swarmed the area to secure the premises. A deeply saddened President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. immediately ordered a thorough investigation into the violence, which marks another devastating blow to the country’s school safety following a similar university shooting in 2022.
