Classmates said that the pair listened to Marilyn Manson and wore black, and would draw Satanic imagery such as inverted crosses.

[4] The morning of Tuesday 28 September 2004, in the middle school N°202 "Islas Malvinas" in Carmen de Patagones, Solich opened fire on his classmates in their classroom.

Solich entered the institute in which around 400 students attended class, bringing a Browning Hi-Power 9mm pistol (which belonged to his father, subofficial of the Argentine Naval Prefecture), two full magazines and a hunting knife hidden in a military coat.

In the classroom 1° B, Solich stood up in front of the class, took the gun and discharged the entire magazine upon his classmates without saying a word.

Although he would not answer when asked for his motive, he revealed that he had been angry with his peers since kindergarten and had been planning an attack since the seventh grade: "They say that I am strange...they fuck with me because I have this spot on my nose".

[7] Dante was deemed by the community to have had prior knowledge of the attack, and was ostracised, with parents threatening to not send their children back to school if he were there; eventually, he and his family were also moved out of town.

[3] The families of the victims sued the Naval Prefecture and the province's Schools Department for 12 million Argentine pesos.
