Student in Mexico shoots 3, kills self

MONTERREY, Mexico — A 15-year-old student shot a teacher and two other students in the head before killing himself Wednesday at a private school in the northern Mexican city of Monterrey.

Another student suffered minor injuries in the shootings, which were captured on a video posted to social media.

Nuevo Leon state Gov. Jaime Rodriguez said the shooter died at a hospital and that the other three victims with head wounds were “fighting between life and death.”

State security spokesman Aldo Fasci said the student shot the 24-year-old teacher, a 14-year-old girl and a 14-yearold boy in the head, and a 15-year-old classmate in the arm.

He noted that the person responsible for posting photographs of the shooting to social media would be punished.

Fasci said the shooter had been under treatment for depression, but that the motive was under investigation.

The video of the shooting, apparently from the school’s surveillance camera, shows a teacher handing out materials and students at their desks when a boy opens fire from a sitting position, hitting a boy in front of him.

He then shoots the teacher, who was looking in another direction, and she falls to the ground. The boy rises from his seat and walks around, firing shots at his classmates, before turning the gun on himself.

His first shot appears to miss his head, and then he runs to his backpack, apparently to reload, as his classmates cower at their desks. He appears to say something to the students, who begin to rush for the door, and then he shoots himself in the head.
