At least five people, including four teenagers and a teacher, were critically injured early Wednesday, after a student opened fire in a classroom at a private school in the northern city of Monterrey, Nuevo Leon state.
"The young man takes out a gun, shoots the teacher, immediately points at another classmate, then at a third, instants later at a fourth, pauses as if he is going to reload or something like that, gives instructions to other classmates and then shoots himself," Nuevo Leon spokesman for security matters Aldo Fasci told a radio station Grupo Formula.
Most of the injured were shot in the head, including the 24-year-old teacher, a girl and two boys, and the shooter, who are all 15 years old. All were taken to area hospitals.
Local media have only identified the shooter by his first name, Fernando, and have described him as a young man suffering from mental problems.
The incident, which took place at the American School of the Northwest, has sparked discussion about the need to resume a policy of checking students' backpacks, a measure that was cancelled after parents complained.
