I just read about the school massacre in Rio de Janeiro which happened recently.
12 children ( 10 girls and 2 boys) were killed in the shooting and another 12 children were injured. Those children are aged 10-15 years old. The gunman was actually a former student of the primary school.
From what was reported, he actually went into the school telling the teacher that he wanted to give a talk. Giving a talk by former students are very common there. He went into a classroom and told the children that he is going to give a talk. Then he asked them to close their eyes and raised their hands in the air. Suddenly the gunman screamed "You all are going to die!" and start shooting the children.
Luckily a military policeman who was on duty near the neighbourhood came quickly after seeing the students fleeing from the school with bloodstained on their clothes. Other students were running and begging for help. The gunman was shot at the leg before he committed suicide, shooting himself.
He was described as a loner and antisocial by some the neighbourhood (probably living nearby him). His former classmates told that he was always being rejected harshly (I don't know for what. I forgot) by the other students. -- One type of bullying? Huhu.
During the funeral of the unfortunate innocent children, a helicopter fly around cemetery area raining down roses petals. Lots of mothers fainted, fathers wept, family and friends rocking each other giving supports.
May they rest in peace...
