Two students opened fire on June 22 inside a school in the central Philippines, a rare campus shooting that killed three teens and wounded seven others, police said.
The two alleged shooters, aged 15 and 14, were in custody after firing "randomly" in San Jose National High School, police Lieutenant Evalyn Diaz told AFP of the violence that sent terrified students running for cover.
A Glock 9mm pistol used in the shooting was registered to a policewoman in the region, national police spokesman Allen Rae Co told a media briefing, adding that she was taken into custody.
