At least three shot dead in two schools in a city in Brazil

At least three people died and eleven others were injured in two schools in a neighborhood in the Brazilian city of Aracruz, where a young armed man entered and shot indiscriminately, official sources reported this Friday.

The deceased are two teachers and a primary school student, according to the Secretary of Public Security of the state of Espírito Santo, Márcio Celante, in statements to journalists.

The person responsible for the crime would be a teenager who, with a semi-automatic pistol, fired first inside a school, then went to another, in the same neighborhood, to repeat the attack, and then fled.

The authorities have set up a security device to try to arrest the shooter, whose identity is still unknown.

According to Celante, the young man broke the padlock on the door of the first school and went to the teachers’ room, at the time of a break between classes, and opened fire on the teachers, killing two and wounding nine others.

In the second school, he shot at three students, leaving one dead and two wounded, who, like the rest of the wounded, have been taken to nearby hospitals.

The governor of Espíritu Santo, Renato Casagrande, confirmed the events, which occurred at the Bitti schools and the Praia de Coqueiral Educational Center, located in the Coqueiral neighborhood of Aracruz.

He said that the possible motivation of the young man, who is suspected to be a student of one of those schools, of primary and secondary education, is still unknown.
