Retired PM attacks woman, shoots at police and is shot in Rio de Janeiro

Reserve military police officer Lusmar Sofista, 60, shot at PMs and was shot by them on Saturday night (22), in Japeri, Baixada Fluminense. Sofista survived, but is hospitalized in serious condition at the Nova Iguaçu General Hospital, also in Baixada Fluminense. His weapon was seized.

According to the police, agents from the 24th Battalion (Queimados) were called because an armed man was threatening his own woman in Japeri.

The couple had left a party in honor of São Jorge and started fighting in the street. Witnesses told the Civil Police that he began to attack her, and when witnesses tried to intervene, he threatened to kill them. Then the PM was triggered.

When the PMs arrived at the address, they were met with a shot fired in the direction of the vehicle. They fought back and hit him.

Lusmar Sofista, who is a retired sub-lieutenant, was taken to the Japeri Polyclinic and then transferred to the hospital in Nova Iguaçu. The soldier’s weapon was seized and the occurrence was registered at the police station in the area. According to police, the woman is fine.
