On Thursday, May 28, 2026, fear resurfaced in Puebla as employees of Grupo Phimsa reported their vehicle was hit by a bullet while driving along V\u00eda Atlixc\u00e1yotl. Fortunately, no one was injured in the incident.<\/p>\n
This event adds to a growing list of similar cases in the area. Just a day earlier, a young man shared that a bullet struck his car and lodged in one of the seats. Over recent months, multiple drivers have reported suspicious gunfire or bullet impacts on vehicles traveling through V\u00eda Atlixc\u00e1yotl and Perif\u00e9rico Ecol\u00f3gico, two of Puebla\u2019s busiest roads. This has sparked widespread anxiety among daily commuters, workers, and students.<\/p>\n
The problem dates back to February 2026, when the first documented cases of vehicles damaged by gunfire began to emerge. One of the most serious incidents involved a minor who was injured by a stray bullet while riding with his mother on Perif\u00e9rico Ecol\u00f3gico.<\/p>\n
In response to the rising number of reports, Puebla\u2019s Secretar\u00eda de Seguridad P\u00fablica (SSP) confirmed ongoing investigations into a possible shooter operating from buildings near Atlixc\u00e1yotl and Perif\u00e9rico. Officials explained that trajectory and impact angle analyses suggest some shots may come from an elevated area between these two roads.<\/p>\n
Francisco S\u00e1nchez Gonz\u00e1lez, head of the SSP, acknowledged weeks ago that several shootings against motorists have been documented. However, he clarified that it remains unclear whether all attacks are linked to a single individual or if some are stray bullets.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, concern continues to grow on social media, with citizens demanding increased security in Angel\u00f3polis and along V\u00eda Atlixc\u00e1yotl\u2014key arteries that see thousands of vehicles daily. This ongoing situation highlights the urgent need for effective public safety measures to protect Puebla\u2019s diverse and mobile community.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
