The incident was livestreamed using a body-worn camera, officials said.Zamboanga City Mayor Khymer Adan Olaso said the suspect appeared to be wearing a body camera and livestreaming the attack at the high school on the Ateneo de Zamboanga University campus. Two other people were injured, he said, as cited by news agency AP.The suspect initially opened fire at a teacher, although it was not immediately clear whether the teacher was hit. He then shot a fellow student, who died, before turning the gun on himself.University president Ernald Andal confirmed that there was no longer an active shooting and that no additional fatalities or injuries had been reported.Andal said the university was coordinating with authorities and would provide further details as more information became available. “We do not want any of these things to happen.
