 One of the children that survived that attack was supposedly shot several times before he could testify against policemen that were to go to trial, and ended up fleeing from Brazil in order to save his life.The international community severely condemned the attack, and many in Brazil asked for the prosecution of those who shot the Candelária Church children.The event also was mentioned in the song "The Candelaria Massacre" recorded by a Brazilian death metal band Lacerated And Carbonized (from the 2013's album "The Core of Disruption").
