3 hurt in Mexico student鈥檚 school firing
Print Edition
STATE officials said a student opened fire with a gun at a private school in the northern Mexican city of Monterrey yesterday, seriously wounding himself, a teacher and another student.
Nuevo Leon state security spokesman Aldo Fasci said a school video showed the 15-year-old male middle-school student shot a teacher, another student, and then pointed the gun at classmates before shooting himself.
Fasci said the wounded had vital signs but were in extremely serious condition. He added that “this had never happened” in the state before.
He said the motive was still under investigation, but attributed it to “the situation that is happening everywhere. The children have access to the internet. This has happened in other countries.”
The website of the American School of the Northeast says it offers bilingual education for students from preschool through ninth grade.
It was unclear how the student got the gun, apparently a .22 caliber pistol, into the school. Mexico once had a program that checked bags at school entrances, but in many places it’s fallen into disuse.
