A man has entered a school in the Brazilian city of Rio de Janeiro and opened fire on children inside, local media say.
Brazil’s Globo TV said nine people were killed and 15 injured in the school, which is in the western part of the city.
It says the gunman then killed himself. The attacker has not been identified.
Globo also showed images of the victims being taken in ambulances in the Realengo district.
“The person entered, and fired shots,” a spokeswoman for Rio’s military police told Globo.
