Eko Hot Blog reports that the attacks took place in the small town of Aracruz, 50 miles north of the state capital, Vitoria.
The alleged shooter – who was seen in security footage carrying a semi-automatic weapon, wearing military attire and a face covering – has been arrested by police. The suspect has not yet been identified by authorities, but local media has reported the individual to be a 16-year-old.
Espirito Santo governor Renato Casagrande, in a Twitter post on Friday, confirmed “security teams caught up with the attacker who, cowardly, attacked two schools in Aracruz. I declared three days of official mourning as a sign of grief for the irreparable losses. We will continue to investigate the reasons, and soon, we will have new clarifications.”
The governor said the attacks took place at the Primo Bitti school and the Praia de Coqueiral Educational Center.
