La Nación, a prominent Costa Rican news outlet, reported on November 15, 2025, about two significant incidents: a shooting in Siquirres and the suspension of in-person activities at the Tecnológico de Costa Rica (TEC) due to an armed threat.
In its first post at 15:16 UTC, La Nación stated: “Hombre herido por arma de fuego en Siquirres: OIJ aclara detalles del caso https://t.co/C3CWjkHyHy”.
Shortly after, at 15:24 UTC, the outlet reported on developments at TEC: “TEC suspende actividades presenciales tras amenaza armada: esta será la fecha de reapertura de sus campus https://t.co/SEP3dd7u3e”.
At 15:31 UTC, La Nación provided further information regarding the closure of TEC campuses: “El TEC cerró todos sus campus y suspendió actividades presenciales tras una amenaza de ataque armado. Conozca qué medidas se aplicaron y cuándo reabrirán. https://t.co/VIE1rv29yI”.
The incident in Siquirres involved a man injured by gunfire. The Judicial Investigation Organism (OIJ), Costa Rica’s primary investigative agency for criminal cases, clarified details about this case. In a separate event, all campuses of the Tecnológico de Costa Rica were closed and face-to-face activities suspended following an armed threat. This institution is one of Costa Rica’s leading public universities specializing in science and technology education.
Both events highlight ongoing concerns regarding public safety and emergency response protocols in educational institutions and communities across Costa Rica.
