PNP PROBES SHOOTING INCIDENT AT PRIVATE SCHOOL IN ZAMBOANGA CITY

The Philippine National Police (PNP) is conducting a thorough investigation into a reported shooting incident at a private school in Barangay Lunzuran, Zamboanga City, at around 7:50 a.m. today.

Initial police information indicated that the incident involved two students. A Grade 9 student was identified in the initial report as the alleged shooter, while a Grade 10 student was reported among those affected. The PNP is withholding their identities and other personal details in consideration of their age and privacy.

Police are also verifying reports that fi****ms were brought into the school premises and used during the incident. Investigators are determining how the fi****ms entered the campus, their ownership and legal status, and the circumstances surrounding their use.

Responding police personnel secured the area, while the Regional Forensic Unit 9–Scene of the Crime Operations (RFU9-SOCO) conducted a crime scene examination. Investigators from concerned PNP units are likewise pursuing parallel leads to establish the full circumstances of the incident.

Chief PNP Police General Jose Melencio C. Nartatez Jr. directed the concerned units to ensure a careful, evidence-based investigation while giving due consideration to the privacy and welfare of the students and their families.

“Ang prayoridad natin ngayon ay maayos nating malaman ang buong pangyayari at mapanatiling maingat ang ating imbestigasyon. We will follow the facts, coordinate with the concerned authorities, and respect the privacy of the students and their families. Let us allow the proper process to take its course,” PGen Nartatez said.

The PNP recognizes that incidents involving students require a measured response that protects both public safety and the rights of those involved. The police organization is also coordinating with concerned authorities as the investigation progresses, particularly on matters involving fi****ms and school security.

The investigation forms part of the PNP Focused Agenda, particularly Enhanced Managing Police Operations, which emphasizes timely, coordinated, and appropriate police action based on the actual circumstances of every incident. This is consistent with the administration's continuing public safety efforts under the leadership of President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr.

The PNP urges the public to avoid spreading unverified information, photographs, videos, or personal details involving the students and their families. Further information will be released as the investigation establishes verified facts, consistent with the “Bagong PNP para sa Bagong Pilipinas: Serbisyong Mabilis, Tapat, at Nararamdaman.”
