Philippines blocks Gorebox after school shooting kills 3

What's next: Senators plan to revive an inquiry into violent online content and children after 20 others were wounded in Tacloban.

The Philippines temporarily blocked the video game Gorebox after investigators found that one of two teenage suspects in a school shooting in Tacloban had been playing it. Three students were killed and 20 others were wounded when the boys, ages 15 and 14, allegedly opened fire inside a classroom at San Jose National High School on Monday. Police filed murder charges against the 15-year-old, while the 14-year-old cannot be charged under Philippine law. Investigators said the attack appeared planned, and police also alleged the younger suspect had posted violent material online. The 9mm pistol he allegedly used belonged to his aunt, a policewoman who was suspended after the shooting.
