Two minors allegedly fired randomly inside a school in Tacloban City, Philippines. Police are investigating bullying as a possible motive.
The two alleged shooters, aged 15 and 14, had fired “randomly” inside the school, police information officer Evalyn Diaz said of the incident, which took place at around 9am at San Jose National High School in Leyte province’s Tacloban City.
A video widely circulated by local media showed panicked children screaming and crying while hiding inside a classroom amid the sound of gunfire.
“We are hearing bullying was the motive behind their actions, but we have yet to ask them,” Lieutenant Diaz said of the ongoing questioning of the boys arrested in the shooting’s aftermath.
“We’re still getting the guns, checking where they got those and how they were able to bring that inside the school,” she said. “We also have yet to establish the sequence of events. They are still in the police station undergoing questioning in the presence of their parents because they are minors.”
Tacloban police chief Noelito Getigan told reporters that the suspects used a .38-calibre and 9mm firearm in the shooting.
