There are 11 killers, 10 Children and Killer
Brazil is the sad
Just two days after VEJA (the most important news magazine in Brazil) released a report about Terrorists Groups linked to Al Queada and so on having branches in Brazil we experience the first terrorist attack that seems to be linked to extremist Muslims.
The Killer´s sister said that he was linked to islamism and the police said he left a letter shows signs of Islamic Fundamentalism.
We are a peacefull country and our government need to act upon those groups imediatelly !!!
Saying that the killer have some ties to Islam is the same as smoking is bad for your health. What else can we expect?
news here in Brazil say that when he knew the police was there, the shooter killed himself. The Tv news are not talking about the two of them having a confrontation. There are now new numbers... Nine girls and a boy died on the scene and another child died on the way to the hospital. With the shooter there are 12 deaths and 17 injured victims.
Não é verdade,não se trata segundo os reportes no local de caso religioso,parece ser buling.
Not true, it is not according to reports in local religious event, it seems buling.
Real things from the first world now getting down to Rio.... Very sad... poor children... poor families...
Most of the victims was hit in the head and chest. "It's a very sad situation. Would never expect to experience in my life such an experience. I saw the whole team in the hallways. People crying in despair. It is a situation of unnecessary violence against children.......
The wonderful city in days of mourning, the Brazilian education does not deserve it ...
He was really determinated to get himself killed, he left a letter, and entered the school claiming to be there for a lecture...
Nine dead girls + one boy named Raphael, the Lord looks at our pain.
This happened first time in Brazil, infortunately, we brazilians are in shock!will be an American as we could be said that the Olympics here?? So the USA could ever be, because this is more common there, only an insensitive jerk to make a comment like that in this hard moment.
Update
Guy was ex student there
11 killed including killer -9 girls one boy
20 in hospital to remove bullets from face
the worst is tha fact that are many things we just can't figure out... I'm living near this school, and my son will not go to class today... 'cause I don't believe its isolated fact: first of all, the shooter has 2 guns, 2 revolvers, and jets to reload then, doing a hundred shot, and some head shots! its not a crazy guy that get some gun and go out to shot somebody... it's calculated! Second, an officer of Military police, get the letter the shooter left, and say it clearly, that have very serious fundamentalist traces, beside the confusion at all! Who gonna assume? Right before 2011 (Military Mundial Games at Rio), 2014 (World Cup at Brasil), and 2016 (Olympic Games at Rio)... tell me its casually!!! Don't believe it!
Ele deu mais de cem disparos!
You are truly a sick individual.
