It was gathered that Warren Escosar fatally shot Almarisa Arroy, a teacher also in the school after killing Christopher Arroy, Almarisa’s husband.

Escosar then allegedly opened fire at the Arroys, initially killing the husband.
Almarisa ran towards one of the open classrooms to hide, but Escosar gave chase until he eventually cornered the school teacher and shot her in the face, killing her on the spot.
Escosar then returned to his vehicle and grabbed a .45 caliber pistol and killed himself.
Police are further investigating the incident, although Hinoba-an town Mayor Ernesto Estrao believes the incident may have stemmed from a complaint filed against Escosar.
According to the town mayor, Escosar was reported to have received a notice from the 8888 Citizens Complaint Center, regarding alleged mismanagement at the school.
It is currently unknown if the Arroys were the ones who filed the complaint against Escosar.
