| [Daily Mail, where America gets its news] A 19-year-old student who wanted to find 'peace' with herself shot a classmate at a high school in the northern Brazilian town of Natal on Tuesday, the Rio Grande de Norte Civil Police said. Authorities said that Lyedja Santos spotted an 18-year-old classmate along the hallway and shot him in the head at the E. Berilo Wanderley School. Santos, who is in the 11th grade, then walked inside a classroom and attempted to shoot a teacher as students were about to being taking a test, but the gun got jammed, Brazilian news outlet G1 reported. A student who was in the classroom told Inter TV Cabugi that one of their male classmates rushed at Santos and was able to restrain her. 'We were in the classroom about to take the test and she called her friends to talk to her, to talk about the classroom. A short time passed, about a minute, and we only heard the shot,' the student said. 'We didn't know for sure if it was a shot, we thought it was a bomb. She entered the classroom armed, aimed at the teacher's head, but the gun jammed,' they recalled. 'When it jammed, she turned her back to try to run, and the boy in the classroom jumped on top of her and managed to pull her away.' The Rio Grande do Norte Military Police recovered the .38 caliber revolver that Santos had in her possession as well as three knives and several books about serial killers. Authorities also found a handwritten note that Santos had on her in which she detailed the motive behind the failed school massacre. 'I acted alone, I acquired everything on my own and no one knew anything about it,' she wrote. 'To my friends and family, I thank you for everything you have done for me and I am sorry for everything I have caused. I would never have dreamed of dying like this, but this was the best option. 'I loved each and every one of you, even if I didn't show it. I hope you understand and forgive me, because that is the only way I will find peace.' The wounded student, who is also an 11th grader and whose name has not been released, is in stable condition at Monsenhor Walfredo Gurgel Hospital, his father told G1. 'There is an entry and exit hole, the bullet was not lodged,' said Ilzeany Dilis, a nursing technician with the Mobile Emergency Care Service. 'At the time [of the shooting], he was conscious, oriented, and had vomiting symptoms. He had a CT scan, was evaluated by a neurologist and his health is fine.' |

| #4 A friend (whose paperwork was mislaid, or he might have been a sub that day), says the shooter shot everyone in the room, except two students. It wasn't just the teacher, per speculation in the first link. And if there was any bullying, it wasn't visible to the kids who sat next to her or had a locker next to her; on the contrary. Wild guess, in light of her "manifesto" and the 2nd link--the parents were getting desperate and hoped the Christian school would be a good influence. |

| #1 Interesting to note, students tackled held the shooter, thus stopping possible further actions. Now ask yourself, could you see this happening here? |
