The school has primary and secondary students, and the identities of the victims and the alleged attackers have not yet been released.

Gun crime in Brazil is common, however it is not common that shooting of this nature happen in Brazil.

Sao Paulo state governor Joao Doria tweeted that the victims had been “cruelly murdered”. He has canceled his agenda and headed to the area.
