Canadian gunman kills two in Philippine court

The Canadian man shot a local doctor who sued him, as well as the doctor's lawyer, and then turned the pistol on other people in the courtroom in the central city of Cebu, injuring a government prosecutor.

The suspect, who was not named, was also shot and wounded in the melee, regional police chief Marcelo Garbo said on local DZBB radio.

"We are investigating how the suspect managed to bring in the gun," Garbo said.

"Two people were killed, while two were wounded, including the Canadian," he said.

He gave no other details about the criminal case against the Canadian man.
