LINK CHANGE/ LAHT/ More New Details/

   Two men have been arrested for selling one of two guns used in the mass murder of 12 Rio school children and wounding a dozen more... by a 24-year-old gunman who then killed himself.
   The police report the two men accused sold a gun for 260 reais/some $165 usd, clearing 60 reais/ $38.
   Police say the morning massacre at the Tasso da Silveira school was committed by Wellington Menezes de Oliveira (pictured below), a former student. He reportedly left a rambling and incoherent letter saying he wanted to commit suicide.
  “It is a massacre, a true massacre,” said a fireman. “There is blood on the walls, blood on the chairs.... I’ve never seen anything like this. It’s like something in the United States.”
  There were more than 400 students were in classes when the massacre began between 8:15 a.m. and 8:30 a.m. All the victims were 12-14 years of age.
    The GUARDIAN adds: Mateus Moraes, 13, told the O Dia newspaper that Oliveira had deliberately killed a number of girls but spared the boys. "He killed the girls with shots to the head," Moraes said. "The boys, he just shot to injure, in the arms or the legs.

   "This is completely outside of our reality. This gunman lived in his own sick world and unfortunately brought his ugliness into ours," said a Sao Paulo resident. "I'm certain he was sent straight to Hell."

     President Rousseff decreed three days of mourning for the victims.
    This school massacre is Brasil's first...and has shaken a nation where murders are common.
