DAVAO, Philippines: Three security guards were killed on Monday when gunmen opened fire at a polling station in a restive southern region of the Philippines, police said, as millions of Filipinos voted in national elections. Elections are a traditionally volatile time in a country with lax gun laws and a violent political culture, but police said this season had been comparatively peaceful.
