MANILA, Philippines — Love knows no fear.A teenager reportedly shot his alleged boyfriend before he shot himself in what appears to be a case of attempted suicide right inside a popular mall in Pampanga shortly before noon Tuesday, a police official said Tuesday.
Both are minors.
Supt. Wilson Santos, chief of police of Mexico town, said the suicide angle was further established with the recovery of what appeared to be a suicide note from the gun holder described to be 16 to 17 years old.
“The suicide note says that he is willing to die with (name withheld on account of his being a minor),” said Santos in a phone interview.

Minors who figured in shooting incident inside the mall did not survive.When news broke out that a 13-year old boy killed a 16-year old boy in a shopping mall in San Fernando City, Pampanga, it sent shockwaves to parents, even more so when it was found out that the younger of the two boys killed himself after shooting the older boy. Both boys are declared brain dead.
Earlier reports said that a suicide note was recovered from the younger boy stating that he is willing to die with his companion, an alleged lover. Details about the real cause of the shooting are sparse, and this poses so many questions as to what would compel a very young boy to commit such act.
As details trickle in, the police are leaning towards a pre-meditated murder and eventual suicide of the perpetrator, caused by jealousy over a third party. Timeline of events shows that prior to the shooting, the younger boy had updated his status in the social networking site, facebook. Based on the update, he was said to have created a t-shirt design bearing the name of the third party and the alleged plan to kill his lover.
The 17-year old boy, on the other hand, was said to be carrying a card, which indicated that he is happy with the relationship with the younger boy. The boys were said to have met through online chat in May and became lovers in June.
Further reports have disclosed details on how the shooting started. According to the initial results of the investigation, the two boys were seen sitting in a bench inside the mall when the younger boy pulled a .22 caliber gun and shot the older boy in the head. A moment later, the younger boy shot himself in the temple.
The mother of the 17-year old boy said that she does know the boy who killed her son. On the other hand, the parents of the 13-year old boy thought their son was at school.
Despite being in hot waters for a security lapse, the SM management said that they are extending help to the victims.
“Allegedly, they are lovers,” he added.
Quoting the account of some witnesses, Santos said the gun holder shot his 13-year old boy companion inside the annex building of SM Pampanga at 11:45 a.m.
When the boy fell bloodied, the other one also shot himself with the same .22 caliber handgun.
“They both suffered bulletwounds in the head, they are in critical condition,” said Santos.

Very sad story :cry2:
-
yeah. worst thing is that they do some sort of security check at the malls and it appears that this gun slipped through.

That is so very tragic!
But the 2 articles are very confusing
The first article mentions "the gun holder described to be 16 to 17 years old"
Whereas the second article says "a 13-year old boy killed a 16-year old boy"
Who killed whom?
The second article also seems to imply that the whole killing may have been based on a misunderstanding
(i.e. younger boy's "jealousy over a third party"
whereas the older boy "is happy with the relationship with the younger boy")
That would make it even more heartbreaking -
correction… any reference to a 17 yearold is actually a typo. i think the 16 year old guy might have been planning something for the 13 year old.
yeah it's tragic.
