Another mother also expressed her concern about what is happening in the neighborhood: "I came to find out if there are classes in the afternoon, although I already decided not to send my daughter. We are worried because nobody does anything. The neighborhood is complicated, there are
robberies
and shootings".
A school shot
Just four days ago, another school had been the target of violence from gangs that dispute territory and illegal businesses in Rosario, when unknown persons shot at the front of an establishment located in the Tablada neighborhood, in the southern part of the city.
On that occasion, the perpetrators of the shots took the opportunity to send an intimidating message referring to the dispute between gangs.
"Chuki Moneda. Brandon and Fernando Morel. Stop killing cobani and women. We are going to war. The mafilia," said the note written with a blue pen on wooden paper.
The threat they left after shooting a school in Rosario.
The episode occurred against school No. 6,430 "Isabel La Católica", located on the corner of Grandoli and Ayolas, in the south of the city.
Since that day there were no classes at the school and this Thursday parents, students and teachers held a "solidarity hug" to the school.
Gabriel, a history teacher at the school, said that within the educational community they do not believe that the attack was against the school itself, but that it was an act aimed at gaining visibility within a gang fight for territory .
"Since 2014, the issue of violence in the neighborhood has been changing, but we have never had anything like this, an attack," the educator told the TN news channel.
"But we do not consider it as an attack against the school, but as an attack for greater visibility among the gangs. They shoot at a school to attract attention, all the media collect what happened and the message they left for the other gangs," he explained. .
And he graphed it as follows: "It is the methodology of saying
we have greater firepower, we move people from the neighborhood, we manage the neighborhood."
Finally, the teacher highlighted the importance of the school in the area.
"The boys are from the neighborhood and want to come to school. They want to come because it is the area of socialization that, today, is the safest there is," he concluded.
