Prosecutors and police are collecting evidence on campus after UNAM activated its weapons-violence protocol and halted classes.

Overview

  • Authorities confirmed a student died after being attacked with a knife inside the CCH Sur campus and a campus worker was injured while trying to intervene.
  • The presumed attacker, described as a hooded student, attempted to flee by jumping between buildings, fell, fractured both legs, and is under police guard in a hospital.
  • UNAM suspended classes at the plantel until further notice to protect the community and facilitate ministerial investigations.
