Philippines: At least three people were killed and eight others injured in a shooting at a high school in the southern Philippines on Friday, the mayor said.
Those killed included the 16-year-old suspected gunman, while eight others were injured, the town's mayor said.
Four of the eight injured were in critical condition and all the victims were students aged 14 to 17, Banga town Mayor Albert Palencia told Reuters.
The Philippines Red Cross (PRC) released photographs of its medics and welfare team providing assistance to victims after the school shooting in the southern part of the country.
The Philippines has relatively strict gun ownership regulations, including background checks and psychological evaluation requirements, although illegal firearms remain in circulation.
The incident also follows a high-profile incident in Thailand in August, where a student went on a shooting rampage at a school on the outskirts of the capital, Bangkok.
