Brazil reels from school shooting

RIO DE JANEIRO - A disturbed young Brazilian man on a suicide mission shot dead 10 girls and two boys on Thursday at his former elementary school in Rio de Janeiro.

Wellington Menezes de Oliveira, 24, also shot and wounded 12 others - many in the head - and only stopped firing when he was shot in the leg by a police officer and turned one of his revolvers on himself, officials said.

The death toll was raised on late Thursday as a 13-year-old boy had succumbed to his injuries, health officials told local media.
