Three boys and a girl between the ages of 5 and 7 died in the assault on the Cantinho do Bom Pastor day care center in Blumenau.
SÃO PAULO — Four children were killed by a hatchet-wielding man at a day-care center Wednesday morning in the Brazilian state of Santa Catarina, authorities said. At least five other people were injured in the assault, which came amid rising concern about the increasing frequency of attacks on schools in Latin America’s largest nation.
The attack occurred less than 10 days after a teacher was stabbed to death at a school in São Paulo. In that incident, a 13-year-old student is accused of stabbing three teachers and a student. President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva condemned the assault Wednesday as a “monstrosity” and an “absurd act of hate and cowardice.”
