NNA – At least three people died and 11 others were injured on Friday when a man opened fire at two schools in southeastern Brazil, local authorities reported “AFP”.
The mayor of Aracruz, Espírito state, Santo Luis, Carlos Coutinho, told CBN radio that the gunman and a group of “criminals” attacked the two schools on Friday morning, and the gunman opened fire on a series of workshops, killing two women and wounding nine others.
The group then headed to a second school, where the gunman shot a young woman and wounded two others, according to the mayor.
School shootings rarely occur in Brazil, despite high levels of gun-related activity in the South American country.
