The suspected gunman at a school in the southern Philippines turned the gun on himself after a shooting incident in which one person was killed and four injured, a provincial governor said on Friday.
South Cotabato governor Reynaldo Tamayo said in a Facebook post that five people have been hospitalised after the incident and the suspect shot himself.
It was not immediately clear if the shooter was alive.
The Department of Education said it was deeply concerned over the reported shooting.
The incident follows two shootings since June at schools in the south of the country. A student last month live-streamed himself shooting and killing another student in a classroom in Zamboanga before taking his own life. In June, at least three students were killed and about 20 others injured an attack at a public high school in Tacloban, where two classmates opened fire on campus.
The Philippines has relatively strict gun ownership regulations, including background checks and psychological evaluation requirements, although illegal firearms remain in circulation.
