Goyases School shooting

In the morning of October 20, 2017, an unnamed 14-year-old student of the private school Goyases, in the Brazilian Goiás state capital Goiânia, opened fire against his classmates with a .40-caliber Taurus PT100 pistol, leaving two dead, and four injured.

He tried to commit suicide but was convinced not to by a school teacher, being arrested minutes after the incident.

In testimony to the local police, he claimed he had been inspired by the Columbine school shooting in Colorado and the Realengo school shooting in the Brazilian City of Rio de Janeiro. The police investigation stated that the student suffered bullying from his classmates.
