Masked gunmen killed 11 people indiscriminately after bursting into a bar in the northern Brazilian city of Belém on Sunday.

The shooting happened in Guamá, a poor and violent neighbourhood of the city in the Amazon region.

Local media speculated that the shooting was carried out by a gang in retaliation for the deployment in March of federal forces to Belém.

You're looking down the barrels of two hand guns, signed Bolsonaro











You have to respect people like Bolsonaro. He's got "Gravitas" to spare, even more than George W. Bush.

Bad way to start a new week for Brazil.
