Authorities in western Mexico have arrested a 15-year-old student after he allegedly opened fire at his school, killing two female employees on Tuesday.<\/p>

The shooting occurred at Makarenko School in Lazaro Cardenas, a port city in Michoacan state. According to the local Department of Public Safety, the teenage suspect used a high-powered assault rifle in the attack.<\/p>

Officials discovered two victims with multiple gunshot wounds at the scene. Local authorities confirmed the arrest in a social media post on X.<\/p>

A state government source told Reuters that “the victims appear to be a teacher and another person from the administrative staff.”<\/p>

The state prosecutor’s office has not yet released specific details about the positions the two women held at the school. The accused shooter was reportedly a high school student who was preparing to enter college.<\/p>

Reuters reached out to the school for comment but has not yet received a response.<\/p>

Michoacan state has experienced ongoing violence and serves as a major center for criminal organizations competing for control of drug trafficking corridors. The region faces persistent problems with extortion, kidnapping, and other criminal enterprises.<\/p>

While Mexico struggles with high levels of violence related to organized crime, shootings at schools remain uncommon occurrences.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
