Mass school shooting in Mexico, shooter dead, 3 in critical condition

[Lion Heart 15,041]

Three minors and a teacher were injured Wednesday morning after a 15-year-old student carrying a handgun opened fire inside a classroom in northern Mexico.

The shooting took place at el Colegio Americano del Noreste, a private school in the city of Monterrey with a focus on bilingual education. Leaked security camera footage of the shocking school shooting is making the rounds on Mexican social media.

Nuevo León state officials said the shooter struck one student in the arm and the other victims in the head before turning the gun on himself. Officials said that three victims—two of the students and the teacher—are in critical condition; the student shot in the arm is currently stable.

The shooter committed suicide.

School shootings are rare in Mexico.

However, the incident comes as some Mexican lawmakers consider new gun laws amid a spike in violent crime.

Narco-violence has also pushed some drug war-weary Mexicans to break the country’s gun ownership taboo, arm themselves, and form vigilante groups.

Although the country has strict gun laws, the legal purchase of firearms has reportedly increased in recent years. Analysts attribute the spike on a growing perception of nationwide insecurity.

The Monterrey school shooting is likely to play in favor of Mexican gun control advocates who often highlight the mass shooting epidemic in the U.S. to defend current Mexican gun laws and restrictions.

I don't wanna watch the video & I think it's distgusting that it's possible that it stays up on the internet FOREVER. What a disrespect towards the victims.

And I just don't understand! Did the shooter feel better abiut himself while shooting others? Did he got bullied so much? What's the point?

It's been a hard week here in Mexico. Shootings in Monterrey, Playa Del Carmen and Cancún this week. Then the fake Chemotherapy for kids and HIV tests things by Javier Duarte (Politician). I honestly feel so depressed this day that I just don't have any words at the moment.

New gun laws?  

People aren't allowed to own guns in Mexico. 

In fact, there's only one gun store in the entire country, and it's on a military base.

 

What new laws!?

Enough is enough.

I watched the video and was confused on what happened to the gun bish at the end like did the police shoot because he's lying on the ground.
