On September 28, 1995, Mexican police officer Ernesto Cruz Jiménez boarded a subway car at La Raza station and opened fire on the passengers, killing two people and wounding five others.

Shortly before 6:00 a.m. on September 28, 1995, State of Mexico Judicial Police officer Ernesto Cruz Jiménez opened fire on passengers at the La Raza station on Line 5 of the Mexico City Metro. Cruz Jiménez was detained by an unarmed officer while attempting to flee the scene. The shooting initially left seven people wounded; a 50-year-old woman and a 38-year-old man later died in the hospital from their injuries. Cruz Jiménez later stated, "I did it because of the economic crisis; no one deserves to live through what we are living through," attributing his actions to his financial problems and emotional distress caused by the 1994 Mexican peso crisis. On April 27, 1998, he was sentenced to 50 years in prison at the Reclusorio Norte.

Berhanu Afework, who shot and killed three people and injured four others at the Ethiopian Embassy in Mexico on March 18, 1969

Shortly after 9:30 p.m. on March 18, 1969, Berhanu Afework, an employee of the Ethiopian Embassy in Mexico, attacked the staff and family of Ambassador Gaitachew Bekele inside the diplomatic residence in the Polanco neighborhood, located in what was then the Federal District (now Mexico City). Before the incident, Afework was described as a serious, responsible houseman. He would look after the ambassador’s four young children, even taking them for walks in Chapultepec Park every Saturday.

Armed with a .38-caliber revolver and a knife, and reportedly under the influence of intoxicating substances, Afework killed the ambassador’s wife, as well as two maids. He also injured three of the ambassador's children and their governess, and even shot at the first responders who arrived on the scene. Following the attack, Afework managed to flee. Ambassador Bekele was not at the residence at the time of the incident.

A few hours after committing the murders, at around 2:30 a.m. on March 19, Afework’s body was found hanging in a hallway of a motel in the Morelos neighborhood. Police investigators concluded that he had suffered a sudden psychotic break and closed the case without finding any alternative motive.

Video shows the moment a teenager tries to break into a secondary school in Cancún, Mexico; no injuries were reported

Cancún, Quintana Roo, Mexico—June 3, 2026

Moments of tension and alarm unfolded on Wednesday morning at Technical Secondary School No. 11 “Moisés Sáenz Garza” in Cancún, after a former student entered the premises with pyrotechnic devices and detonated at least one inside the facilities. The incident occurred at the school located on Avenida Chichén Itzá, at the corner with Bonampak, one of the city’s busiest areas in terms of vehicular traffic. According to preliminary reports, the teenager, approximately 15-years-old, accessed the school through the teachers’ parking area. Some witnesses reported that the youth was also carrying a knife or machete at the time of entry, although authorities are still verifying this information as part of the investigation. The detonation of the fireworks caused a loud blast that was initially mistaken for gunfire. The noise triggered fear among students and teaching staff. Many students remained locked inside their classrooms while teachers activated safety protocols. [...] The suspect was subdued and initially detained by teachers and a parent before the arrival of members of the Municipal Police. [...] Authorities confirmed that there were no injuries or fatalities during the incident. In addition to the firecrackers, agents secured several pyrotechnic devices and the bladed weapon that was preliminarily reported.
