At least 4 children killed in preschool axe attack in southern Brazil FMTNews FMTWorld
The incident happened a week after a 13-year-old student stabbed a teacher to death in a Sao Paulo school.
RIO DE JANEIRO: At least four children were killed and four other injured when a 25-year-old man armed with a small axe attacked a preschool in the southern Brazilian state of Santa Catarina today, local police and a hospital said.Local security chief, Marcio Alberto Filippi, told reporters the attacker gained access to the private school by scaling its walls.
Hospital Santo Antonio in Blumenau said that in addition to the four children killed, four others between the ages of three to five are under its medical care. The attack, dubbed by President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva a “monstrosity,” happened nearly a week after a 13-year-old student stabbed a teacher to death and wounded five others in a Sao Paulo school.
“A tragedy like this is unacceptable, an absurd act of hate and cowardice…an act of violence against innocent and defenceless children,” Lula said in a Twitter post.
