Summary
At least 20 students were wounded in the Tacloban attack, up from earlier reports of seven injured, with 15 suffering gunshot wounds and others hurt fleeing through windows.
Police said the 14- and 15-year-old suspects, both San Jose National High School students, used a 9 mm pistol and a .38-caliber revolver, fired at least 40 rounds and chased victims into a second classroom.
Initial questioning found the close friends said they had been bullied; investigators are also examining how one suspect got a pistol from his police-officer aunt and how the pair entered a 1,500-student campus with only one guard on duty.
President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. ordered a full investigation and tighter security at schools and other public places, while the suspects were set to be turned over to welfare officers because they are minors.
