Gunfire rang out Wednesday night in the Philippine Senate building, which erupted into chaos and is under lockdown, according to local officials and televised news reports.
The shooting, which appeared to come from inside the Senate chamber, comes amid a standoff between federal agents and Ronald “Bato” dela Rosa — a senator and former national police chief who faces crimes against humanity charges brought by the International Criminal Court in The Hague that were unsealed Monday over his involvement in the deadly Philippine war on drugs under former president Rodrigo Duterte.
