SAO PAULO (Reuters) - At least eight people were killed at a Brazilian elementary school where two young men were seen entering the building and firing weapons early on Wednesday, according to Sao Paulo police. Among the dead were five school children, one adult who worked at the building and the two adolescent shooters, police said.
An unknown number of additional children were also shot at the Raul Brasil elementary school and taken to hospitals. The state of their health was not immediately known.
School shootings are rare in Brazil, even though the country is one of the world’s most violent, with more annual homicides than any other. The last major school shooting was in 2011, when 12 children were shot dead by a former pupil in Rio de Janeiro. While gun laws are extremely strict in Brazil, it is not difficult to illegally purchase a weapon.
Police said that two adolescents wearing face masks entered the building and started shooting at about 9:30 a.m. local time. The pair eventually shot and killed themselves.
Police told the Globo TV network that another shooting took place about 500 meters from the Raul Brasil school shortly before the killings at the school, but it was not yet clear if the two incidents were related.

George Soros anyone?
This has false flag stamped all over it.
Not only is Brazil considering lifting restrictions on “Porta Armas” (the right to carry arms), they have a newly elected president referred to by the hive press as “the Trump of Brazil”.
This must be a false story, Obama told us all that this sort of thing only happens in the US.
Police said that two adolescents wearing face masks entered the building and started shooting at about 9:30 a.m. local time. The pair eventually shot and killed themselves.

They wore face masks to hide their identities and then killed themselves? Strange.
I agree... Maybe they need those anti-gun Democrats to go to Brazil to get things straight. Nothing like gun free zones to get the point across that gun control doesn’t work..
Brazilian President, Jair Bolsonaro, Vows to Legalize Guns for Self Defense
If the Democratic Media Complex starts using this as a new talking point in gun control 'debate', this might be a planned event.
This school appears to be a private institution.
We are about ripe for another one here....calculated to help the demo rats anti gun crusade.
They have more illegal guns than they have legal guns.
Looks like their gun laws failed.
Seriously, thou, prayers to the victims' families. May Jesus comfort them.
Bfl
Or they wore face masks for the look. Killing masks/ face paint have a long tradition in Latin America.
RIP.
So, there were SIX Dead Victims and TWO Dead Perps. Got it.
