Eleven Children Murdered In Rio De Janeiro School

A 24 year old Brazilian man went into a Rio elementary school armed with 2 handguns and a lot of ammunition.

When he finally killed himself, he left behind a suicide note, and agony for the families of eleven children.

  1. From another story (which I won't try to link);

    "Beltrami said the attacker was friendly as he went into the school, chatting with administrators and teachers and asking for permission to address the children. When he reached the third floor of the building, the suspect entered one of the classrooms and started to shoot at students, killing nine girls and one boy.

    The attacker apparently committed suicide upon being chased by a police officer who had been called in by a student who managed to escape the building.

    Brazilian President Dilma Rousseff was “in shock” over the killings, government spokesperson Rodrigo Baena Soares said in Brasilia.

    “He still had a lot of ammunition in his possession. Had it not been for the arrival of the police officer, the tragedy would have been even worse,” Beltrami said.

    Roselane de Oliveira, a sister of the attacker, told Rio de Janeiro radio station Band News that the young man “was very strange.”

    “He had no friends, and he spent all his time on the internet,” she said.

    In recent months, she said, he appeared to have got closer to Islam."

    I suppose the headline should have said 10 children murdered, because these news idiots seem to be counting him, and I would not.
