Overview

  • After roughly five hours of negotiations led by GRIS under minor-prosecutor Griselda Digier, the student handed over a 9mm pistol and was hospitalized for psychiatric and psychological evaluation.
  • No fatalities were reported; multiple students were evacuated and treated for anxiety and panic, according to the La Paz hospital director.
  • Local officials say the firearm likely belonged to the girl’s father, a police officer from San Luis, prompting an internal review of weapon custody by internal affairs.
  • The Juvenile Penal Justice opened an investigative file that can order treatment and protective measures, and plans to take witness statements using Cámara Gesell; adult-style criminal charges are not anticipated.
  • The provincial education authority set a reflection day at the school and expanded mental-health support, while the education minister noted no formal bullying record despite classmates’ claims.
