At least one teacher has been killed in a knife attack at a school in the Brazilian metropolis of São Paulo.

According to the Brazilian news portal “G1”, the 71-year-old woman went into cardiac arrest and died in hospital.
São Paulo Governor Tarcísio de Freitas lamented the events on Twitter: “I cannot express my sadness at the news of the attack on students and teachers at the Thomazia Montoro public school in Vila Sônia.” old had already been arrested.
Apparently the teacher could have prevented worse
De Freitas, who is currently touring Europe, also thanked a teacher who “through heroic action prevented this terrible situation from getting worse”. According to the government of São Paulo, the military police were called and the civilian police were investigating.
A teenager broke into a kindergarten in southern Brazil about two years ago and stabbed those in attendance. Five people died. Such attacks are rare in Latin America’s largest country and have caused widespread consternation, such as the March 2019 school shooting in Suzano, São Paulo, which left 10 people dead. Brazil is one of the most violent countries in the world, but much of it is related to crime, organized crime or police brutality.
