On January 10, 2020, an 11-year-old student identified as José Ángel Ramos Betts, armed with two guns, opened fire at the facilities of Colegio Cervantes Campus Bosque, a private school in Torreón, Coahuila, Mexico, killing a teacher and injuring six others, before killing himself.
The shooter wore a white t-shirt that read "Natural selection" and pants with black suspenders, as a reference to Eric Harris, one of the perpetrators of the Columbine High School massacre.
At 8:00 a.m. on January 10, 2020, Betts arrived at the institution with two weapons in his backpack: an automatic .40 caliber and another .22 caliber, both owned by his grandfather.
At 8:20 a.m., he asked his teacher for permission to go to the bathroom. About 15 minutes later, after noticing that he was taking too long, she went to look for him. Around 8:40 a.m., he left the bathroom having changed clothes and armed himself with the two guns. María Assaf Medina, Betts' English teacher, confronted him and asked him to stop shooting.
Before firing, he said "Hoy va a ser el día" ("Today is going to be the day"). He started firing at the physical education teacher and five other classmates, injuring all of them. He then shot María Assaf Medina, who died instantly, before committing suicide at around 8:43 a.m.
