Following the shooting incident in the Senate building last Wednesday night, May 13, 2026, the Philippine National Police (PNP) is currently conducting an investigation.

The Pasay PNP, together with the Criminal Investigation and Detection Group, is in charge of the investigation into the incident, while the Anti-Cybercrime Group handles the CCTV footage reserves. 

According to PNP-PIO Chief PBGen. Randulf Tuaño, three institutional units provide security inside the Senate building - the Office of the Sergeant at Arms (OSAA), Police Security and Protection Group (PSGP), and the Marines; they undergo a paraffin test.

“Pag makaraan po na makalabas today yung mga paraffin exam na isinagawa, at tsaka yung mga forensic na ginawa po ng FG, makikita po natin, kung kanino pong firearms yung magmamatch,” he said

The trajectory of the bullet shots is also included in the investigation.

“Initially, kausap po natin yung mga taga-SOCO, nagtataka po sila sapagkat yung mga trajectory na nakikita niyo po sa larawan ay masyado pong mataas o pataas po siya,” according to PBGen. Tuaño

Also, a magazine and a M-16 rifle were recovered from the alleged NBI volunteer involved in the incident. An individual was arrested and will face different violations, including Illegal Possession of Ammunition, Alarms and Scandal, and others, according to PBGen. Tuaño.
