SAO PAULO: Ten people were killed in a firing in a school near São Paulo on Wednesday, the state's military police said, before the two shooters changed their weapons themselves.
The state's military police spokesman said, "Eight people died on the spot, including two attackers who committed suicide."
"Two injured people died after taking the hospital."
About 15 people were injured in the firing at Raúl Brasil Public School in Sujano, southeast Brazil.
Website UI1 told two killers, "Maybe the teenager entered the school shooting with his head covered by a hood."
São Paulo State Governor Joao Doria said that the dead had four children and two members.
He said that it is not known yet that the two attackers were alumni in the school.
An AFP photographer at the scene said that with the firefighting and security services the family members concerned were gathered outside the school.
Officials said that this attack happened at around 9:30 am during the entertainment of some students.
Military police Col Marcelo Sales said that two assailants "fired on the owner of the gas station," who is now being treated at the hospital before being admitted to the school.
Sales said that the attackers used the ".38 caliber revolver and a medieval weapon that looked like a bow and arrow."
After the students shot in the yard, the killers "moved towards the language center" where many students were hidden and "committed suicide in a corridor," the sale added.
Globnewswas showed television pictures of fleeing the pupils after fleeing over a wall.
The website G1 published a granular video taken inside the school, where scary students can be listened to as they come between dead classmates.
This is not the first mass school shooting in Brazilian history.
In April 2011, a former student killed a dozen schoolchildren and injured many people before running a gun in a school in the suburbs of Rio de Janeiro.
Brazil is one of the most violent countries in the world, with 64,000 murders in 2017, which is around 31 in every 100,000 inhabitants - three times more than being classified as the United Nations's local violence.
After assuming office in January, the furthest President Jair Bollonsoo passed a law, which allows people to take weapons immediately after assuming power in January, fulfilling the promise of a campaign.
