Philippine authorities foiled a potential school attack in Leyte province after a tip from Senator Bam Aquino led to the arrest of a 14-year-old student. The student allegedly created Facebook accounts to spread threats of violence at Tolosa National High School.
Philippine police confirmed a student involved in a school shooting posted gun-related videos online, including firing a weapon. The cybercrime agency temporarily banned the violent game GoreBox, played by a suspect. Speculation arose about inspiration from the Columbine massacre due to a suspect's shirt.
Two students, aged 14 and 15, were arrested in Tacloban City, Leyte, following a school incident involving a .38 revolver and a 9mm pistol. Police suspect a grudge stemming from school bullying as the motive.
