Shooting in Brazil kills at least 14 in dance club

 

SAO PAULO (Reuters) - Gunmen shot and killed at least 14 people early on Saturday in a crowded dance club in the northeastern Brazil city of Fortaleza, authorities said.

 

At least another six people were injured and are hospitalized in Fortaleza, said Andre Costa, who heads the Ceara state security secretariat, which oversees police forces.

 

Costa told journalists that a motive was not yet known, but authorities were investigating whether the killings were part of an ongoing fight between two drug gangs.

 

No suspects are in custody.

 

Eyewitnesses told the Globo TV network that three cars full of armed men arrived at the dance club around 12:30 a.m. and fired rounds into the front of the building for at least a half-hour before fleeing.

 

Brazil routinely has more homicides than any other nation, according to an annual United Nations compilation of violence. In recent years, homicides have increased significantly more in the country's northeast area than in the rest of the nation.

If going by the recent El Chapo series, the gang will be totally obscure if they shave their moustaches off - assuming they are old enough to grow them

El Chapo is mexican.

Brazilians are a very diverse people, obviously many Portuguese descendants but also many of African descent ( slaves brought over by the portuguese).
There is also the largest number of Japanese people outside of Japan !

In the south there are many blonde haired blue eyed people of European descent.

All in all, the locals would take you for Brazilian until you opened your mouth !!

Fired guns for half an hour before splitting?????

 

That's unbelievable.
