A chilling video shows the moment a 15-year-old boy opened fire at a private school in Mexico, seriously wounding a teacher and three other students before killing himself.
The teacher, named Cecilia Solis, and two other students at the bilingual American School of the Northeast, appeared to take bullets in the head from the .22 caliber pistol.
The shooter, named as Federico Guevara by Nuevo Leon state governor Jaime Rodriguez, then killed himself.
He had been treated for depression, and his motive is being investigated, said Rodriguez.
It is claimed that he revealed his plans to carry out the shooting to a Facebook group before taking the handgun into school.
Members of the closed group, named Legion Holk, are claimed to have posted messages of support of his actions.
The night before the attack, Unomasuno writes, a message was posted on the group’s page, purportedly from Guevara, warning that he intended to carry out a massacre. It said: ‘Tomorrow I will make a massacre in my school.’
Some members of the 200,000-strong group subsequently claimed responsibility for the shooting, it reports, and profiles honoring Guevara were created in the aftermath of the shooting.
