11 People Killed in Reported Gun Attack At Bar in Brazil

A gang of gunmen reportedly attacked a bar in the capital of Brazil's northern Pará state Sunday afternoon, and authorities said 11 people were killed.

The state security agency confirmed late Sunday only that six women and five men died in the incident in the Guamá neighborhood of the Pará state capital, Belém.

The G1 news website said police reported that seven gunmen were involved in the attack, which also wounded one person. The news outlet said the attackers arrived at the bar on one motorcycle and in three cars.

In late March, the federal government sent National Guard troops to Belém to reinforce security in the city for 90 days.

So this is gang related?, didnt seem to be a targeted attack against another individual (gang member) but more an indiscriminate killing spree.

Thoughts with the victims and their families

@Bombardier from the brief info I've read it is reported as gang related and the owner of the bar was among those killed.

I can't even remember when any such incident ever made the western news . Even the kids getting shot as they slept outside a church wasn't reported on the news nor was the Prison massacre .
