A serious incident has been recorded in the city of Curitiba, Brazil, where authorities killed a man who was holding 13 children hostage at a school, threatening them with a knife. The situation lasted more than two hours, and fortunately none of the children were injured.
According to Paraná state police spokeswoman Leticia Martins, the man forced his way into the CMEI São Braz school, scaling a wall to enter a classroom, where he took children and staff members hostage. During the incident, he threatened to douse himself and others with gasoline. Police negotiation teams arrived at the scene and attempted to resolve the situation, but, according to Martins, authorities had no other option than to neutralize him.
