Vice Principal Killed in Attack on School in Mexico’s Coahuila State
Authorities say three people were injured and two 18-year-old former students were detained after the attack at the secondary school.
- On Thursday, an attack at a Secondary School in Torreon, Coahuila, left the vice principal dead and three people injured, with State Prosecutor Federico Fernandez confirming two 18-year-old former students were detained.
- The suspects entered the facility armed with machetes and rudimentary explosive devices; local neighbors, alerted by sounds of detonations, apprehended the brothers in the Union area and held them until authorities arrived.
- Preliminary investigations indicate the brothers attacked administrative staff, Fernandez said. Describing the incident as a "brutal attack," the prosecutor confirmed the vice principal lost her life during the assault.
- The federal Security Cabinet reported that three people injured in the attack are receiving medical attention as investigations into potential motives continue.
- Attacks on schools remain unusual in Mexico, where most violence is tied to organized crime. High-profile incidents in Torreon, Michoacan, and Monterrey in recent years underscore recurring security vulnerabilities.
