An attack at a secondary school in northern Coahuila state, Mexico, resulted in the death of a vice principal and injuries to three people on Thursday, according to local authorities. The assailants, identified as two 18-year-old brothers, have been detained, stated State Prosecutor Federico Fernandez. The incident occurred at Secondary School No. 13 in the La Union area of Torreon, where the suspects, who were former students, allegedly entered the school armed with machetes and rudimentary explosive devices.
Neighbors heard detonations and apprehended the suspects before authorities arrived. Preliminary investigations suggest the attackers targeted administrative staff, with a woman, the vice principal, losing her life in the "brutal attack," said Fernandez. The three injured individuals are receiving medical attention. While attacks on schools are rare in Mexico, where most violence is linked to organized crime, there have been several high-profile cases in recent years.
