A ninth-grade student in Zamboanga, Philippines, Mohammad Mael Jalani, opened fire at a high school campus on Tuesday, killing a fellow student and himself while wounding two others. The attack was livestreamed using a body-worn camera, showing the suspect firing a gun down a hallway before entering a classroom and shooting another student. Authorities confirmed that the shooter had brought two pistols into the school, one of which belonged to his father, a customs police official. This is the second fatal school shooting in the Philippines in just two months, following an attack in June that killed three high school students. The incident has raised concerns about gun violence and access to firearms in Southeast Asia, where 10.3 million firearms are estimated to be possessed by civilians in Thailand alone.
The suspects in that shooting were two teenage boys, one of whom was found to have regularly played an explicitly violent online game.
