Three people are dead and several injured after a shooting at a school in the Philippines, with reports indicating the attacker acted out of a long-held grudge over being bullied. British security experts have condemned the attack, calling it a tragic reminder of the global epidemic of school violence. The shooting, which took place at a school in the southern Philippines, left students and staff in shock as the gunman opened fire before turning the weapon on himself.
