They took 96 children and three teachers hostage for about six hours. They demanded 200 million lire for the release of their hostages or they would kill them. Using the children as shields, they fired shots at people outside the school, killing one person and injuring another three. The hostage crisis ended when one teacher tackled Egidio, grabbed a knife and stabbed him in the head. The attack distracted the brothers long enough so that police could storm the classroom without endangering the children's lives.[https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=NucNAAAAIBAJ&sjid=DHYDAAAAIBAJ&pg=4213,5240197&dq=terrazzano+santato 92 children saved from two madmen], St. Petersburg Times (October 11, 1956)[http://archiviostorico.corriere.it/1993/maggio/15/scuola_Terrazzano_ore_terrore_co_0_9305156324.shtml la scuola di Terrazzano: 6 ore di terrore] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120905191755/http://archiviostorico.corriere.it/1993/maggio/15/scuola_Terrazzano_ore_terrore_co_0_9305156324.shtml |date=2012-09-05 }}, Corriere della Sera (March 15, 1993)
