Gunman Kills Three In Philippine University Campus

A gunman opened fire in a university campus ahead of a graduation ceremony in the Philippine capital region on Sunday, killing a former town mayor and two others.

The police said the suspect was armed with two pistols and was captured while trying to escape the Ateneo de Manila University in suburban Quezon City.

The university was put under lockdown and the graduation rite at the campus was cancelled.

Newly elected President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. promised to have the attack swiftly investigated and those behind the killings brought to justice.

Marcos Jr. said; "We are shocked and saddened by the events at the Ateneo graduation today.

"We mourn with the bereaved, the wounded and those whose scars from this experience will run deep."
