Warning Signs, or Lack Thereof: The Banga National High School Shooting The recent shooting at Banga National High School in southern Philippines has left many questions unanswered, but one thing is clear: it highlights glaring security gaps and warning signs that were ignored by educators and authorities.
A 16 year old gunman had been planning the attack for weeks, even going so far as to warn his classmates about it hours before carrying out the massacre.
The ease with which he obtained a firearm from his father's vault underscores the lax security measures in place at the school.
