Who was Ian Cabrera? boy killed after shooting at Mariano Moreno School in Santa Fe
SAN CRISTÓBAL, Santa Fe Province — A tragic school shooting in the city of San Cristóbal has left a 13-year-old student dead and several others injured, after a 15-year-old classmate opened fire on Monday as the school day was beginning.
The incident occurred at Escuela Normal N°40 “Mariano Moreno” during a morning flag-raising ceremony, when students had gathered at the start of the day.
Authorities reported that the suspect, a 15-year-old student at the school, brought a shotgun belonging to his grandfather and began firing at classmates.
The sole fatal victim has been identified as Ian Cabrera Núñez, 13, who had recently begun his secondary education.
Despite emergency response efforts, he died from his injuries at the scene.
According to officials, at least eight other students sustained injuries during the incident. Six of those injuries were described as minor and occurred as students attempted to flee the scene.
Two students, ages 13 and 15, suffered gunshot wounds and were transported to public hospitals for treatment. Authorities have indicated that both are currently out of immediate danger, with one previously reported to be in serious but stable condition.
The suspect was quickly subdued by school staff and taken into custody by responding authorities. Officials confirmed that the student had no prior record of violent behavior within the educational system. However, preliminary information suggests he may have been experiencing significant personal and family-related difficulties.
Pablo Coccocioni, Santa Fe’s Minister of Justice and Public Security, confirmed the casualty figures during a press conference, noting that, in addition to the fatality, two juveniles sustained gunshot wounds but are expected to recover.
José Goity, the province’s Minister of Education, stated that while the suspect had no documented history of violence at school, there were indications of a complex and challenging family environment that may have contributed to underlying issues.
Local reports also indicate that the suspect may have been subjected to bullying, though this aspect remains under investigation and has not been officially confirmed.
Classes at the school have been suspended as authorities continue their investigation and provide support services to students, staff, and families affected by the tragedy.
This incident has deeply impacted the San Cristóbal community, raising renewed concerns about school safety and youth welfare. Officials have pledged a thorough investigation into the circumstances surrounding the shooting.
