A shooting at the Mariano Moreno Normal School No. 40, located in San Cristóbal, Santa Fe, resulted in a tragic outcome this Monday. A 13-year-old student was killed and two others were injured. The attack occurred around 7:15 a.m., as students were preparing to raise the flag at the start of the school day.
The Secretary of Government of the Municipality of San Cristóbal, Ramiro Muñoz, confirmed that the assailant, a boy aged between 15 and 16, pulled a shotgun from his backpack and fired several times.
