RIO DE JANEIRO – A gunman roamed the halls of an elementary school in Rio de Janeiro on Thursday and killed 12 children, lining them up against a wall and shooting them in the head at point-blank range as he shouted, "I'm going to kill you all!"
It was the worst school shooting in Brazil -- and would have been deadlier if the gunman had not been shot in the legs by a police officer, who said the man then fell down some stairs and shot himself in the head.
Images taken with a cell phone and posted on YouTube showed students fleeing wildly, screaming for help, many with their white and blue school shirts soaked in blood.
Rio de Janeiro state's Secretariat of Health and Civil Defense said in a statement on its website that at least 12 other students were injured, many by gunfire, and taken to hospitals. At least two were in grave condition. Officials earlier reported 18 injured.
The dead included 10 girls and two boys, plus the gunman, according to the Health and Civil Defense department. Those killed were between the ages of 12 and 15. One of the boys died at a hospital about 12 hours after the shooting.
Jesus christ man.

"But the teenagers failed and were arrested a short time later carrying rifles, machetes and thousands of rounds of ammunition. The police said the three had planned an assault in which they would have killed three selected victims and shot other people at random."
but yeah I remeber that and I remember something a while back at Edgewood and Overbrook to.... supposedly at Edgewood there was a foiled hitlist plot gone bad and at Overbrook I remeber this alot cause I grew up right down the street, they were having bomb scares like everyday, then someone threw a fake bomb on the roof, this was in like the laste 90's... then we sound out after investigations from the police that it was my buddies older cousin, he went to jail for a year, lol what a dumbass <_>
