RIO DE JANEIRO — A former student entered a school and then began shooting in Brazil’s southern Parana state Monday, killing a 16-year-old girl and severely wounding another teen, a spokesperson for the city of Cambé told The Associated Press by phone.
Once inside the building, the man fired at least a dozen shots before being restrained by a school employee, Mossini said. The alleged shooter was later arrested by police, Mossini said. The boy’s father, Rodrigo Augusto, told TV network Globo News earlier Monday the bullet was still lodged in his son’s head. “It’s my birthday today, we usually stay together all day on my birthday, and then... today I couldn’t in the morning ,” Augusto said.
