After La Paz School Gun Incident, Case Enters Clinical Review as Community Presses Prevention

Specialists warn that most school aggression goes unreported and urge long-term socio‑emotional education.

Overview

  • Judicial and clinical steps are underway as the 14-year-old remains hospitalized at the Notti; a first attempt to begin preliminary interviews before a Cámara Gesell session failed when she chose not to speak.
  • Prosecutor Griselda Digier leads the investigation and Family Judge Paula Maurano oversees protective measures, including decisions about treatment, living arrangements and schooling.
  • During Wednesday’s episode, the student brought a 9 mm pistol, fired inside Marcelino Blanco school and stayed barricaded for nearly five hours until Grupo GRIS negotiators and school psychologists secured her surrender without injuries.
  • The provincial education authority said emergency protocols were applied and that interdisciplinary teams, including the ETI, are working with the families after both La Paz incidents.
  • In less than six weeks, the two secondary schools in La Paz each saw an armed incident, prompting expert calls for early detection, climate diagnostics and sustained prevention, with commentary also questioning access to a parent’s service weapon and safe storage at home.
