Schoolboy shot his grandmother and grandfather when they forbade him to use his phone

Family tragedy in Brazil: 13-year-old teenager attacked his grandparents due to a domestic conflict

A shocking incident occurred in the municipality of Francisco Beltran, where a teenager used a firearm against his guardians. According to Ultimosegundo, the schoolboy first wounded his grandfather, after which he fired five bullets into his grandmother's chest. Despite being injured, the elderly man managed to call the police, confronted his grandson and was able to disarm him.

According to the publication's source, the elderly couple had been raising the boy since he was seven years old. Preliminary information suggests that the tragedy was preceded by a conflict over a ban on using a mobile phone. For the attack, the teenager used his uncle's pistol, having previously broken into his car to obtain the weapon.

After the attack, the boy tried to hide in the forest, but law enforcement quickly found and detained him.
