Teens open fire in Brazil school, wounding 3
RIO DE JANEIRO (AP) — Armed with a .22 caliber pistol, two teenagers stormed into a public school in southeastern Brazil and opened fire Friday, wounding three students, one of them seriously, police said.
The alleged shooters were detained when police found them hiding in a classroom at the Joao Manoel Mondrone school in the city of Medianeira in Parana state.
In a statement, the state's police department said the two 15-year-olds rushed into the school and shot fellow students at random. The teenagers also carried ammunition and several homemade explosives, it said.
One 18-year-old was shot in the back near the spinal cord and was listed in serious condition, police said.
