Brazilian police kill suspect, rescue 13 children from kindergarten

Brazilian police rescued 13 children held hostage at a kindergarten in Curitiba after officers killed a suspect who threatened to set the building on fire. The suspect, suffering from schizophrenia, entered the classroom by scaling the gate, armed with a knife and a fake firearm, and spread a flammable substance around the room. Negotiations lasted up to three hours, during which the suspect began physically assaulting the children, prompting police to carry out a tactical intervention. All children were safely evacuated, and the mayor of Curitiba confirmed their safety.
