On Monday, June 1, 2026, concerns escalated among drivers and motorcyclists in Puebla\u2019s metropolitan area over the so-called \u201cAtlixc\u00e1yotl shooter.\u201d A motorcyclist reported detecting a green laser beam aimed directly at his helmet while riding along V\u00eda Atlixc\u00e1yotl, near the building opposite La Vista Country Club.<\/p>\n
The rider discovered the laser pointer after reviewing footage recorded during his trip. A screenshot from the video clearly shows a bright green dot on his helmet, sparking fresh speculation that someone might be targeting road users from one of the nearby buildings.<\/p>\n
This report comes amid a wave of citizen complaints about shots or impacts on vehicles traveling through Atlixc\u00e1yotl and surrounding roads. The State Public Security Secretariat (SSP) has confirmed at least eight incidents linked to the \u201cAtlixc\u00e1yotl shooter.\u201d However, none of the victims have filed formal complaints with the State Attorney General\u2019s Office.<\/p>\n
Authorities say an investigation is underway, with intelligence units analyzing possible locations from which the shots might be fired. So far, it remains unclear whether all incidents involve the same perpetrator or if some damages were caused by firearms of different calibers, air guns, or other projectiles.<\/p>\n
Documented cases include:<\/p>\n
– Vehicles with bullet impacts on bodywork and windows
\n– A passenger bus hit by projectiles
\n– A motorcyclist injured
\n– A child wounded by a projectile earlier this year near Camino Real a Cholula <\/p>\n
New incidents were reported last week near Osa Mayor, Camino Real, and V\u00eda Atlixc\u00e1yotl itself.<\/p>\n
While the recent laser pointer sighting does not confirm a sniper operating from La Vista Residence\u2014the building visible in the video\u2014it has reignited alarm among daily commuters on one of Puebla\u2019s busiest corridors. As more testimonies and videos surface on social media, citizens are demanding increased security measures to prevent a potential tragedy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
