Philippines police on university shooting attack

A gunman opened fire on university campus in the Philippine capital region on Sunday, killing a former town mayor and two others in a brazen attack ahead of a graduation ceremony. The suspect was armed with two pistols and was captured in a car.

Investigators were trying to determine a motive for the attack, but police said the suspect, apparently a medical doctor, had a long-running feud with Rosita Furigay, a former mayor of Lamitan town in southern Basilan province.

She died in the attack together with her aide and a university guard. The sprawling university was put under lockdown and the graduation rite at the law school on campus was canceled.
