Two assailants opened fire inside a school near Sao Paulo on Wednesday, killing eight people including four children before turning their weapons on themselves, authorities said.

Military police Colonel Marcelo Sales said two assailants burst into the school grounds in the early morning, armed with a .38 caliber revolver and a "medieval weapon that looked like a bow and arrows."
"Eight people died at the scene, including the two assailants," a state military police spokesman said. "Two injured people died after being taken to hospital."
Website UO1 said the two killers, "probably teenagers, entered the school shooting with their heads covered by a hood."
