According to a state prosecutor, a man fatally stabbed two women at a university in Guadalajara, western Mexico, on Wednesday.

"There was no reason, no apparent motive," for the attack, said the prosecutor, adding that the attacker's "aggression was directed against the first people he saw."


The attack also resulted in injuries to a man.
