A fourth year male high-school student was slightly hurt in an explosion Wednesday afternoon inside a school in Bislig City, Surigao del Sur, the city police chief said.
In a phone interview, Supt. James Goforth said the incident happened almost 3pm inside the campus of Andres Soriano College (ASC) in Mangagoy District.
Goforth said the male suspect was on foot outside of the school when he threw the explosive over the gate and landed at the open field inside.
"We still don't know if it was a grenade or an improvised explosive device… But it's quite remote that it's an act of terrorism," he said in Filipino.
He said initial investigation showed that the suspect, according to an eyewitness, was under the influence of liquor while passing through Lauron Street outside the school.
"We now have a lead on this suspect. Somebody saw him so we are looking for him now," Goforth said.
He said part of their investigation is to find out if the suspect has a gripe against ASC.
The injured victim who was hit slightly in the abdomen was already sent him after he was treated, Goforth said./END
