The shooter entered the cathedral around 13:25 BRST (15:25 GMT).[3] The officiating priest had left the cathedral prior to the attack and the suspect was not recognized by any of the church officials.[6] The suspect entered the church while the Mass was still underway and sat in the back and watched the service for a while, before he began to fire his weapon.[7] He killed four worshippers and injured another four.[8] Police in the plaza outside of the church responded to the gunshots, and the gunman was hit in the side by police, before he committed suicide.[8]
One day after the massacre, another victim had succumbed to his injuries at the hospital, and the fifth victim of this massacre was revealed, Heleno Severo Alves, 84 years old.[9]
The incident was documented on the surveillance footage from inside the cathedral and allowed the police to review the timeline of the incident.[10]

The five victims of the massacre were all men between the ages of 38 and 84. The five victims of the massacre are (in order of age):

Elpídio Alves Coutinho - 67 years old;
José Eudes Gonzaga Ferreira - 68 years old and;
Heleno Severo Alves - 84 years old (Note: Heleno was a resident of Indaiatuba, a city close to Campinas).[11]
Suspect
Police released the name of the perpetrator as Euler Fernando Grandolpho, a 49-year-old systems analyst with no known criminal record.[8]
Aftermath
A Mass was held in the cathedral the day after the incident to honor the victims with Father Rafael Capelato stating; "We know that you, family members, are crying - and so are we."[12]
Campinas Mayor Jonas Donizetti declared three days of mourning in the city and used Twitter to express his condolences and horror about the crime.[13]
