On 13 March 2019, a school shooting took place at the Professor Raul Brasil State School in Suzano, São Paulo, Brazil. A pair of former students, 17-year old Guilherme Taucci Monteiro, and 25-year-old Luiz Henrique de Castro, killed five students and two school staff members. Before committing the attack, Taucci had killed his uncle. After killing most of their victims in the school, Taucci then killed his own partner and committed suicide. Gunshots wounded 11 people.
The attack was the second major and second deadliest school shooting in Brazil, after the Rio de Janeiro school shooting in 2011, where 12 people were killed. It is also the ninth fatal school shooting in Brazilian history.
The shooting has inspired many copycat crimes in and outside of Brazil.
