On Thursday, a vice principal was killed and three others, including students, were injured in an attack at a secondary school in Torreón, Coahuila. The incident occurred at the Number 13 Secondary School in Ejido La Unión, north of downtown Torreón. The alleged aggressors, 18-year-old twin brothers, wielded machetes and explosives.
