墨西哥城10月1日电，当地官员称，周四墨西哥北部科阿韦拉州的一所中学发生了一起袭击事件，造成一名副校长死亡、三人受伤，这在该国极为罕见。
MEXICO CITY, Oct 1 - An attack at a secondary school in Mexico's northern Coahuila state left a vice principal dead and three people injured on Thursday, local authorities said, in a rare case of school violence in the country.
州检察官费德里科·费尔南德斯表示，这起袭击据称是由两名18岁的兄弟实施的，两人均已被拘留。事件发生在托雷翁市拉乌尼、翁地区的第13中学。据一位州政府官员透露，嫌疑人曾是该校学生。
The attack was allegedly carried out by two 18-year-old brothers who have both been detained, State Prosecutor Federico Fernandez said, and took place at Secondary School No. 13 in the La Union area of the city of Torreon. The suspects were former students, according to a state government official.
据当地媒体报道，两名嫌疑人携带勒刀和简易爆炸装置进入学校。一名社区居民告诉当地媒体，听到爆炸声后进入学校的当地邻居抓住了两名嫌疑人，并将其控制住直到当局赶到现场。
According to reports in local media, the two alleged attackers entered the school armed with machetes and rudimentary explosive devices. The two alleged attackers were apprehended by local neighbors who entered the school upon hearing detonations and held the suspects until authorities arrived at the scene, a neighborhood resident told local media.
费尔南德斯对记者说：“初步调查显示，两名疑似作案人员袭击了行政人员。一名女性副校长不幸身亡。”他将这起事件描述为“残酷的袭击”。联邦安全内阁表示，三名伤者正在接受治疗。
"Preliminary investigations indicate that two people, who are the probable perpetrators, attacked administrative staff. A woman, the school's vice principal, lost her life," Fernandez told reporters. He described the incident as a "brutal attack." The federal Security Cabinet said the three people injured were receiving medical attention.
在墨西哥，针对学校的袭击并不常见，当地的大多数暴力事件都与有组织犯罪有关，但近年来也发生过几起备受关注的案件。
Attacks on schools are unusual in Mexico, where most violence is tied to organized crime, but there have been several high-profile cases in recent years.
今年3月，一名15岁少年在墨西哥西部米却观省的一所私立学校开枪打死两名女性工作人员后被捕。
In March this year, a 15-year-old was arrested after reportedly shooting and killing two female staff members at a private school in Mexico's western state of Michoacan.
官员当时表示，2020年1月，托雷翁的一所私立学校也发生过袭击事件，一名11岁男孩开枪打死一名老师，打伤五名同学后自杀身亡。
An attack also took place at a private school in Torreon in January 2020, when an 11-year-old boy shot a teacher dead and wounded five classmates before taking his own life, officials said at the time.
2017年，北部城市蒙特雷的一名15岁学生在一所私立学校开枪打伤了一名老师和三名同学，随后开枪自杀。这名老师于两个月后在医院去世。
In 2017, a 15-year-old student in the northern city of Monterrey shot and wounded a teacher and three classmates at a private school before turning the gun on himself. The teacher died in hospital two months later.
