In Brazil, a suspected robber was shot multiple times by a worker just seconds after walking into a cell phone store. The alleged thief, wearing a motorcycle helmet, appeared to pull out a gun and approached a female employee. A male worker on the other side of the room then pulled out his own weapon and fired multiple shots at the suspect. The suspected robber collapsed to the ground as other workers ducked for cover. He was rushed to the hospital in critical condition, and the worker was taken to a nearby police station to provide a statement before being released.
The incident was caught on CCTV, and the suspect was seen walking into the store and approaching the female employee at her desk. The suspected robber takes a couple more steps before the male worker fires multiple shots at him.

Dennis Quaid’s #1 Warning for Americans
Under President Jair Bolsonaro, Gun laws in Brazil were loosened during his term from 2019 through 2022. He advocated for the rights of “good citizens” to bear arms and possess ammunition for protection.
In July 2023, President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva signed a decree tightening restrictions on civilian access to guns. Despite these changes, estimates indicate a surge in the number of guns in civilian hands, monitored by the non-profit Instituto Sou da Paz.
The recent incident at the cell phone store highlights the ongoing debate surrounding gun laws in Brazil.

Good job. Six shots deterred anyone else to be injured. Bravo
AHHHHHHHHAHAHAHA…
Like a boss.
Had to watch 7 or 8 times. Just had to.👍🏿👍🏿
On slo-mo.
I want him for my neighbor!
(the store employee that is, *not* the would-be robber:)
Well, there ya go!
When the robbers and the murderers become far more afraid than their victims civilization will have returned to society. Statistically crime rates are lower in States that have well armed citizens.
Professional and disciplined response.
I can certainly see how a lawyer could eventually put this hero in jail, however. Did the robber threaten anyone officially or did he just pull out a gun? The hero warn the shooter to put down his gun, etc. You know lawyers are…
Did he “just pull out a gun”? Are you an imbecile?
“Officially” threaten? Are you that stupid? The gun itself is the threat. Is it hot cocoa time for you?
No damage to the glass window or the furnishings.
Female to the left wasn’t running for cover. She was pissed that she had a water in her hand and the shooting was done before she could draw.
With governments running wild everywhere, why should they allow people to have the means to defend themselves?
Lula has armed guards but wants the Hoi polloi to be defenseless? Why?
“…APPEARED to pull out his gun…?!”
This needs to be exercised in the U. S. repeatedly during such incidents. The “old west” must return in order to restore law and order.
I just love happy endings!
Good job
Maga
That man would make a fine LEGAL immigrant to the USA!
