The shooter – whose identity was not revealed – entered a state school and fired several shots in the teachers’ room. Two people died on the spot.
Then he fled by car and drove to a private school. There he shot five people, and one of them died, according to g1.
He was still being sought this afternoon.
The governor of Espírito Santo, Renato Casagrande (PSB), said that the security forces are committed to solving the case.
“With a feeling of regret and great sadness, I am closely following the investigation of the invasion of the Primo Bitti and Darwin Schools in Aracruz.
All our security forces are committed. I have determined the displacement of the Secretaries of Security and Education to follow the work”.
Later, Casagrande corrected the information about the second school’s name and said it was the Centro Educacional Praia de Coqueiral.
