According to the decision, João Antonio said that he had been a government employee since 2014, and three years ago he was transferred to another sector against his will. He claimed that in the new sector, he “became a victim of administrative retaliation, by being relieved of his duties, excluded from decision-making spaces, and gradually isolated in the work environment, a situation that led to his mental health being jeopardized.”

The man was also suspended from his duties for 120 days, and upon his return to his position, he was sent to a third department.

“Undisputed medical reports and certificates indicate the deterioration of his health condition as a direct result of the work environment to which he is currently exposed, and his return to DIREN (Board of Education) or transfer to DIAPE/DEMET (Department of Educational Support) is not only a recommended measure, but a necessary and urgent measure to avoid irreversible damage to his mental health,” the man’s defense claimed in the lawsuit.

Two employees of the Celso Soco da Fonseca Federal Center for Technological Education (Cefet), in Maracana, in the northern region of Rio, died on Friday after being shot in the head by a colleague, who killed himself immediately after the attack. Professor Alain de Souza Pedrotti Matos and psychologist Laisy Costa Pinheiro were taken to the Souza Aguiar Municipal Hospital, in central Rio, but they did not resist.

Who is the employee at Civit Company who shot his colleagues?

The shooting attack occurred inside the Civit unit in Maracanã on Friday (28). The fire department was called at 3:50 p.m. According to reports, employee João Antonio Miranda Telo Ramos arrived at the unit in the morning and greeted everyone normally. In the afternoon, he entered the administration and fired shots, wounding the two women who worked in the Education Department. Alan was shot in the head and shoulder, and Laise in the head and chest.

The gunman then committed suicide. Night shift classes have been cancelled.

Military Police reported that, according to the command of the 6th BPM (Tijuca), the Military Police were called, on Friday afternoon, after a shooting was recorded inside an educational unit in Maracanã.

At the scene, security forces found two injured women, who were treated by the fire department and transferred to the hospital unit. Alan and Liz did not survive their injuries.

The Prime Minister added that teams searched the institution’s headquarters and found the body of a man suspected of being the perpetrator of the shooting.

The institution said in a memorandum issued this evening, “The General Directorate of Giftit/Royal Jordanian deeply regrets this tragedy that shocked the academic community and declares official mourning for five days in the institution, starting 01/12/2025.”

Jonatam Araujo, 19, a student at CIFFT, says he heard four gunshots during class. An employee ran to warn that someone with a gun was in the establishment.

—Then a police officer came and ordered everyone to stay in their places. After the agents searched, they asked us to leave. I even saw someone get shot for help.

Student Maria Beatriz Albuquerque, 18, said she was in the yard at the time of the shooting. She claims she initially thought it was construction work at the establishment and only realized the danger when she saw a friend running and saying there were gunshots.

-I even thought it was a joke. But we later saw employees asking to call an ambulance to help someone who had been shot. I never imagined this would happen here. “There was a lot of rush,” he says.

Philosophy student at UFRJ, Adrynni Emannuele, 26 years old, has been an intern at Cefet for 6 months. She says she had just passed the roulette wheel when she saw the rush of students and staff:

– I hid in the cafeteria until the police said it was safe to come out.

Maria Emanuela da Silva, 18, says the school was full at the time of the shooting. The third year students were having an end-of-year party. She talks about the climate of panic that arose in the school:

— The staff asked us to call the police and Samo. Everyone started to feel desperate, but they didn’t understand what to do. Some asked us to leave and the rush started. “We were lucky because we were able to organize ourselves on the way out using the turnstiles and no one was hurt,” the student says.

Physics professor Hilario Rodriguez was teaching about 25 students when two students alerted him to the possible shooting. Not knowing whether this was true or not, he told a colleague in the next room and decided not to let any of the students leave.
