BOC orders firearms inventory after Ateneo shooting linked to bureau-issued gun

When a government-issued firearm finds its way from a customs official's holster to the scene of a school shooting, it forces an institution to confront not just a crime but a failure of stewardship. Two students at Ateneo de Zamboanga University lost their lives on Tuesday, and by Wednesday the Bureau of Customs was reckoning with the uncomfortable truth that one of its own weapons had been part of the violence. The question now is not only who pulled the trigger, but how the systems meant to prevent such moments had quietly come undone.
