Tragic reports are speaking about a high school shooting that took place in Tacloban City, Philippines, today.
According to local media outlets, three students lost their lives in the aftermath of the tragedy, while seven more were injured. Such incidents are said to be very rare in the country and therefore have caused shock and disbelief amongst families.
The attack reportedly arose at 9 in the morning when two teenage students were armed and managed to enter two different classrooms. They both started to fire at the students, creating an atmosphere of extreme panic. So many kids hid under the desks, started to lock doors, and reached out to loved ones for help after the situation unfolded.
Cops were seen rushing to the location and cordoning off the area while ambulances rushed minors to hospitals nearby for immediate medical treatment. Sources also shared how the suspects were just 14 and 15 years old and made use of 9mm Glock pistol as well as a .38 caliber revolver. Reports mentioned how one of the guns actually belonged to a relative of theirs who worked in the police.
