A teenager broke into a daycare center and stabbed three children and two workers to death on Tuesday before police overpowered them in Southern Brazil.
According Municipal Education Secretary Gisela Hermann, a female teacher and an educational assistant were among the victims of the attack at the facility in Saudades, a town in Santa Catarina state.
Hermann added that other children would likely be hospitalized because of the attack.
The attack happened around 10 a.m. local time and the teenager was taken into police custody after trying to commit suicide, Silvia Fernandes dos Santos, a local school board official, said.
“He tried to … take his own life, but he couldn’t. So he was sent to the nearest hospital to be transferred. People were very angry, and they wanted to deliver their own justice,” dos Santos stated.
Although they could not provide any information immediately, police in the area said they were investigating the incident.
