**Enhanced Security Measures to be Implemented at Cobach El Florido Following Armed Attack**
In response to a recent armed attack, security measures at Cobach El Florido in Tijuana are set to be strengthened by the Municipal Security and Citizen Protection Secretariat (SSPCM). The announcement was made by María Elena Andrade Ramírez, head of the State’s Attorney General’s Office (FGE). This decision follows an incident on November 27, where at least three students were injured, reportedly by former students.
The SSPCM, led by Juan Manuel Sánchez Rosales, is collaborating with the FGE to ensure that the security at the educational institution is bolstered, aiming to prevent any future incidents of this nature. Andrade Ramirez emphasized the importance of working closely with local security officials to enhance safety and prevent similar occurrences, even though the recent event did not involve students carrying weapons inside the school.
The investigation into the attack revealed that the attackers had previous conflicts with the victims, who were students at the school. According to Andrade Ramírez, significant progress has been made in the investigation, with several evidence-gathering operations conducted. It appears that the aggressors, described as particularly violent, are minors and former students of Cobach El Florido, with one sustaining injuries while fleeing the scene.
Authorities stress that this was an isolated incident, but recognize the aggressive tendencies and potential dangers posed by the individuals involved.

**Recent Increase in Tijuana’s Security Challenges**
The recent assault at Cobach El Florido reflects broader security challenges facing Tijuana. Recent reports indicate that violence and criminal activity have been on the rise in the city, prompting local officials to implement new strategies to safeguard public spaces and institutions.
In a separate incident involving violence, two bodies were discovered in the trunk of a car, highlighting the ongoing need for effective law enforcement and community engagement. These developments emphasize the urgent need for comprehensive safety measures across the region.
Local organizations are also wrestling with the impact of increased deportations and migrants arriving in the area, further complicating the city’s security landscape. As part of these challenges, the local government faces pressure to manage a potential influx of migrants as the “Migrant Caravan” approaches, necessitating strategic preparation and response coordination.
These events underline the importance of robust law enforcement cooperation and proactive measures to address the multifaceted security issues facing Tijuana and its residents.
