At the age of 59, inspector María Victoria Reyes Vache from the Obispo Silva Lezaeta Institute in Calama has passed away, and the community mourns her loss. Her death was caused by one of the students from the institution, who attacked her, another inspector, and three second-year students with a knife. The community affected by the tragic death of one of the staff members fondly remembered Reyes.

A parent of a former student and a fourth-year student from a parallel class to the aggressor recounted the day of the attack, saying, “As they were entering, she told them they looked nice. She complimented one on their shoes, hugged my daughter, and mentioned her pretty nails. Honestly, I still can't believe all of this.

” Additionally, she mentioned that at the moment of the attack, her daughter told her that “she tried to protect them, hugging some of them. ” A parent of a second-year student stated that he had known María Victoria for a decade. “She always behaved wonderfully with us.

She was always present. She took care of many things: ensuring the children wore the correct uniform, checking licenses or absences. She received complaints, both good and bad.

She also took the children to the nurse's office. We all knew her... My daughter told me she was a very cheerful aunt.

Whenever she saw me, she called me by my name. ” He also indicated that his daughter is a classmate of one of the young people who were attacked, and shared that “one of them was transferred to Antofagasta because his condition is serious. ” 30 years as an inspector María Victoria was a former student who had been an inspector for about three decades, and on June 30, she and her husband Emilio Collao were to celebrate their 30th wedding anniversary.

“He arrived immediately when everything happened. Their two university-aged children are traveling,” said the consulted parent. “She was very motherly with all the children, very close.

That’s why we are all so affected: students, parents, and staff. The school, one of the few places you thought was safe, no longer feels that way. It’s sad; it’s a horrible feeling,” she assured.

She concluded emotionally, saying, “I would like her legacy as a great woman, mother, and staff member to be reflected. She did not deserve to die like this. I only have words of gratitude for her.

Fortunately, I told her while she was alive.
