Images broadcast show a man on the street being shot by military police after throwing stones at a vehicle. The case occurred in the Air Sector, in Goiânia (GO). The videos went viral on Wednesday (4), but there is no confirmation of the exact date of the occurrence.
The images show the vehicle driving down an avenue while the homeless man, shirtless, walks along the sidewalk. It is possible to see the boy throwing at least three stones against the rear window of the police car, which shatters.
The two police officers who were inside the car got out of the car and fired several shots at the man, who was lying on the sidewalk.
The videos do not show what happened before the boy threw the stones or what was done after the shots were fired. There is no information if the street resident died or if he was rescued.
wanted by CNN the Goiás Military Police (PM-GO) says that two police officers “fired at an individual who was threatening people and throwing stones at vehicles”.
“As soon as the PM-GO became aware of the fact, it determined the opening of a Military Police Inquiry to determine the circumstances of the case and removed the Military Police involved from operational activities until the end of the investigations”, says the note.
