Although there was no official statement from the SEPyC, parents and teachers decided to suspend classes as a preventive measure.
Mazatlán, Sinaloa.- After the violent events recorded in Mazatlán on Sunday night, classes were suspended in most of the public and private schools in the port.
Although there was no official suspension by the Secretariat of Public Education and Culture, the directors of the primary schools and the parents themselves decided that there would be no classes.
It was through the WhatsApp groups of the parents that the schools began to announce the suspension of in-person classes, so as not to risk the safety of the minors.
In a tour of the Graciano Sánchez, Francisco Villa, and Emilio Portes Gil schools in the Francisco Villa neighborhood, it was found that there were no classes in the schools.
Some parents waited for the official suspension, but since it did not happen, they decided not to send their children to school.
In the shootout on the night of Sunday, October 27th, on Oscar Perez Escobosa Avenue in the north of the city, one man was killed and a taxi driver was wounded by a stray bullet.
