An eleven year old boy has opened fire in a school in the northern Mexican state of Coahuila.
Police chief Maurilio Ochoa told the media that six people had been wounded – five schoolchildren and a teacher – with two in a “delicate” condition in hospital.
Ochoa said the shooter was believed to have entered his school with two weapons: a small-calibre handgun and a high-calibre weapon. The boy’s parents and grandmother, with whom he lived, had said they had no idea how he acquired the guns.
