Following a shooting involving individuals on motorcycles near a secondary school in Mazatlán, Sinaloa, local educational authorities have established new safety protocols. 

José Juan Rendón Gómez, head of SEPyC Regional Services in Mazatlán, stated that in the event of risks such as gunfire, teachers must keep students inside classrooms and away from outdoor areas. Students are to remain sheltered until Public Security authorities confirm it is safe to leave. Under these protocols, students will not be released to parents or guardians until authorities determine that conditions are secure, even if family members arrive at the school during an incident.
