At least two people have been killed and six injured after an 11-year-old boy entered a school in northern Mexico with two handguns and opened fire. Police chief Maurilio Ochoa told reporters six people had been wounded – five schoolchildren and a teacher – with two in a “delicate” condition in hospital. Torreón’s mayor, Jorge Zermeño, told reporters the causes of the attack were still unclear. Coahuila state’s governor, Miguel Ángel Riquelme, told reporters there were suspicions the shooter had been influenced by a video game called Natural Selection. One of the worst such attacks to take place in Mexico came in 2017 when a 15-year-old student killed himself after shooting four people at a school in the state of Nuevo León.
