The shooting took place at Ateneo de Zamboanga University, a Catholic private institution in western Mindanao. It marks the country's second school shooting in as many months. Regional police said a ninth-grade student brought a "pistol and rifle inside the school campus" and opened fire in a classroom, killing one person before turning the gun on himself. "The investigation is ongoing... We are still trying to identify the motive", police spokeswoman Shella Chang told AFP, adding that the crime scene was currently being processed. It was not immediately clear how many people had been injured. Local media circulated a video that appeared to have been live-streamed on Facebook, showing the barrel of a gun moving down a hallway in the style of a first-person shooter video game before being pointed into a classroom and fired. Children in school uniforms could be seen screaming and rushing for an exit. The alleged shooter's Facebook account has since been disabled. Zamboanga City mayor Khymer Olaso, who initially identified the shooter as a seventh grader, told local radio that the video showed the attacker first shooting at a teacher sitting at a table. "It seems he missed, then moved to another room... He shot another student there", he said. The school separately confirmed the two fatalities. "We have already coordinated with parents and guardians to pick up their children and the university has ensured the safety of those remaining on campus", the school said in a statement. School shootings are rare in the Philippines, but three teenage students were killed and 20 others wounded in the central Philippines in June. Ateneo de Zamboanga conducted active shooter drills last month, part of a nationwide effort. While legal gun ownership is tightly regulated in the Southeast Asian country, a large black market for firearms exists. (Bssnews)
