Listen to this note:
One of the four people killed by Colt Grayel, the 14-year-old suspect in the Apalachee High School shooting in Winder, Georgia, is of Mexican descent. Christian Angulo was a 14-year-old boy who, although born in the United States, had dual citizenship; his life was taken along with another student and two math teachers. Nine other people were injured and taken to the hospital.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Mexico (SRE), through the Consulate General of Mexico in Atlanta, reported that following the shooting that occurred on September 4 at Apalachee High School, the consular representation implemented the emergency response protocol.
In a statement, the foreign minister confirmed the death of the minor of Mexican nationality and detailed that diplomatic personnel established communication with the minor born in the United States, who unfortunately died in the shooting, to provide the necessary support.
The consulate also stated that it is in contact with the authorities to confirm the health status and nationality of the people hospitalized, and to rule out the possibility that there are more Mexican people affected.
"The SRE regrets the death of the Mexican minor and sends its condolences to the family, as well as to the community of Winder, in light of this tragic event," he said.
The Mexican government also condemned the terrible attack and denounced the violence perpetrated by firearms, while reiterating its firm commitment to protecting the rights of the Mexican community in the United States.
This is a mass shooting
