The suspect succumbed to his self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head on Friday afternoon while receiving medical treatment at a hospital, authorities confirmed.
The incident, which has shocked the entire community, unfolded on Thursday morning when the suspect reportedly entered the school campus and went directly to the victim’s classroom.
According to Police Major Willard Dulnuan, chief of the Sta. Rosa Police Station, the suspect initially attempted to talk to the young student.
However, the conversation quickly escalated, ending with the suspect shooting the teenage girl and then himself.
While the suspect's life has now ended, the 15-year-old victim's fight for survival continues. She remains in critical condition at the hospital, battling for her life after sustaining a gunshot wound from the caliber .22 handgun used in the crime.
The police are still actively investigating how the 18-year-old managed to obtain the firearm and bring it onto school grounds.
In an official statement released on Thursday, Police Major Dulnuan revealed that the primary motive for the shooting appears to be a "crime of passion."
According to witness accounts from a friend of the victim, the suspect and the young student were a couple who had recently broken up.
The suspect, however, reportedly could not accept the separation, which authorities believe led him to carry out the devastating attack.
This tragic case serves as a stark reminder of the dangers of unchecked emotional distress, especially in the context of broken relationships, and the devastating impact it can have on young lives.
The incident has triggered a series of questions about campus security and the accessibility of firearms, prompting local and national authorities to review existing protocols.
The police are committed to a full and thorough investigation to provide answers and ensure that justice, in whatever form, is served.
As the community mourns the loss of one young life and prays for the recovery of another, this heartbreaking event has become a cautionary tale about violence, mental health, and the urgent need for a safer environment for students.
