Rio de Janeiro school shooting
On the morning of April 7, 2011, 12 children aged between 12 and 14 were killed and 12 others seriously wounded after an armed man entered Tasso da Silveira Municipal School (''Escola Municipal Tasso da Silveira''), an elementary school in Realengo on the western fringe of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. It is the first time an incident of this kind — a non-gang school shooting with a sizable number of casualties — has been reported in the country. Although police found no concrete evidence of religious or political motives, texts found at Oliveira's home suggest that he was obsessed with terrorist acts and Islam, which he had converted to two years beforehand, after having been a lifelong Jehovah's Witness. In his last wishes, he requested to be buried following Islamic traditions, but also asked Jesus for eternal life and "God's forgiveness for what I have done."
==Incident and casualties==
A lone gunman, Wellington Oliveira entered the school at around 08:30 local time, identifying himself as a former student and asking to see his school history. By presenting himself as such his entrance was allowed, but instead of heading to the school's office he proceeded to the second floor, entering an eighth grade classroom. Some of the victim's accounts say that he was initially very polite, saluting the children and putting his bag on a table, but soon after shot a number of pupils.〔 The perpetrator was armed with a .38-caliber revolver and a .32-caliber revolver with a number of speedloaders.〔 A boy who survived the attack said that Oliveira selectively shot girls to kill while shooting boys only to immobilize them. Ten of the twelve children killed were girls.
The children ran out of the school as soon as Oliveira started shooting. Two policemen who were patrolling the area were alerted to the shooting by two boys who had been wounded in the face. As the policemen arrived at the school, the gunman had already left the classroom and was preparing to proceed to the third floor where students and teachers had barricaded themselves inside the remaining classrooms. Rio de Janeiro military policeman Third Sergeant Márcio Alexandre Alves shot the gunman in the leg and in the stomach; he fell down a staircase and then committed suicide by shooting himself in the head.
The victims were between 12 and 14 years old.〔 Eleven of the twelve students were buried the day after the shooting, in the Brazilian tradition of holding services within a day of a person's death. The twelfth child's body was cremated two days after the shooting.〔http://noticias.uol.com.br/cotidiano/2011/04/14/policia-prende-homem-que-teria-vendido-arma-a-atirador-homem-admitiu-ter-vendido-tambem-municoes.jhtm〕
