At least one dead after school shooting in southern Brazil

At least one student has died after a school shooting in Brazil's southern city of Cambe on Monday, the Parana state government said in a statement, adding that another wounded student has been hospitalized.

The perpetrator has been arrested and is a former student of the Professora Helena Kolody public school who entered its premises saying he wanted to request his school records, the government said. Governor Ratinho Junior declared three days of mourning and sent his public safety and education secretaries to Cambe, a city of 108,000 people located some 400 kilometers (250 miles) from Parana's capital city of Curitiba.

Justice Minister Flavio Dino said after the attack that "this type of violence that has been implanted in Brazil is unacceptable," adding that "violence was once again perpetrated in the most sacred place for children." Earlier this year, a man armed with a small axe climbed over a wall into a creche in Southern Brazil and

killed four children, while in a Sao Paulo school a 13-year-old student

stabbed a teacher to death and wounded five others.
