MANILA, PHILIPPINES—A Canadian man facing charges of illegal possession of firearms opened fire in a Philippine courtroom Tuesday, killing two people and wounding a prosecutor before police fatally shot him, officials said.

The suspect, John Pope, 63, appeared in court in central Cebu city, where he resided, to face the charges when he pulled out a gun and shot a lawyer and a physician who filed a case against him, police said. He then fired at a prosecutor in the hallway of the building before responding police fatally wounded him, said police Chief Mariano Natuel.

Regional police director Marcelo Garbo said Pope ignored orders to surrender and tried to fire at police.

This proves there is no problem with guns in the United States. Something with a gun happened not involving any Americans.

QED bitches.



No but seriously man, Canadians and their guns!

They were probably trying to extort him.

The leader of the jihadists who stormed the gas plant in Algeria was Canadian. What is wrong with Canada?

We don't mind if our people storm foreign gas plants as long as they are polite in doing so. Pleases and Thank you's. That's a proper Canadian jihad.
