Philippine School Shooting Livestream
Philippine School Shooting Livestream student at a Catholic junior high school in the southern Philippines was shot dead by a fellow student, who later took his own life, a local official said on Tuesday. The alleged shooter managed to sneak in a .45-calibre pistol into a classroom at the school in Zamboanga City, Mayor Khymer Adan Olaso told local radio. The suspect fired at the teacher who was seated at the table, but missed. Afterwards, the suspect moved to another classroom and shot a student who later died, Olaso said. Alleged livestream footage of the shooting, circulated by local media, showed what appeared to be a first-person perspective, with a gun barrel moving down a hallway, AFP News Agency reported. The situation was under control and there were no more active shooters, authorities said. The incident comes two months after a high school shooting in Tacloban City in the central region left three students killed and 20 others wounded. The suspects in that shooting were two teenage boys, one of whom was found to have regularly played an explicitly violent online game. The sandbox game, Gorebox, has been banned in the Philippines and the Senate is investigating the effects of violent computer games on young people. Across South East Asia, authorities are looking at restricting social media use for minors, citing possible ill effects. More readings https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c1e154qjw96o |

Re: Philippine School Shooting Livestream
looks like the second student saw him but remained sitting on his chair, also the first student covers his ears instead of fleeing right away. The police identified the perpetrator as 14- to 16-year-old Mohammad Mael Jalani, a student in the 9th grade of the school. He was the son of the District Commander of the Enforcement and Security Service of the Port of Zamboanga at the Bureau of Customs. |

Re: Philippine School Shooting Livestream
According to reports from Ateneo de Zamboanga University, Jalani was an absolute top student (Grade A)and there were absolutely no signs or previous incidents of bullying against him. Home Secretary Jonvic Remulla has stated that the police are specifically investigating his online interactions, including his activity in chat groups on the gaming platform Roblox. Authorities want to determine whether he was encouraged there or if online contacts worsened his emotional state. Initial reconstructions indicate that the fellow student who was shot (a Grade 10 model student) was likely simply in the wrong place at the wrong time. Jalani first shot at a teacher and missed, after which he fired wildly around classrooms. In addition to the motive, police are investigating how Jalani managed to smuggle his father's two firearms onto the high-security private campus. |

Re: Philippine School Shooting Livestream
Yeah it was immediately obvious to me that he has never shot a gun before, I doubt he even practiced before this. We've got a ton of weapons around here. In fact, I almost shot my daughter's boyfriend last night trying to sneak into her room... |
