Two 18-year-olds stormed a middle school in the city of Torreón in northern Mexico today, killing the school’s vice principal and injuring three other people, according to Coahuila State Attorney General Federico Fernández.

According to reports from Milenio, two of the three injured are students at the school, and one of them is in serious condition. A large police force rushed to the school and cordoned off the area.

Videos circulating on social media capture the moment the two suspects are arrested. An 18-year-old can be seen holding a sharp object resembling a machete.
