Mass Shooting Hours Before Historic Philippines Vote Leaves At Least 3 Dead, Multiple Injured

Police said the violence began as rival political groups argued over who should be first in the queue to vote. Cotabato police chief Jibin Bongcayao said the dispute began as a “struggle for position in the queue between two groups”. “It led to shoving, escalated into a fistfight, and eventually gunfire broke out in a crowded area,” he said.
