Aracruz, Brazil

Two deadly school shootings in November 2022 left 94,765 residents of this coastal city reeling. A 16-year-old former student killed four people, including a 12-year-old girl, and wounded 11 others after breaking into two local schools. The gunman, who had ties to online neo-Nazi communities, used his father's military-issued weapons. While the state government declared three days of mourning, bureaucracy is a persistent headache for locals - the young perpetrator received a mere 3-year juvenile detention sentence. Unless you have an exceptionally high tolerance for tragedy and red tape, Aracruz is not the place for you.
