RUA DAS HORTAS: EIGHT-YEAR-OLD CHILD, DAUGHTER OF ONE OF THE VICTIMS, WATCHED THE SHOOTING

Magno Rodrigues, owner of Sirius restaurant, the establishment where the tragedy happened this morning, is at a loss for words.

It says that everything happened between 23h and 23h30. A group of five to six people lived together. In that group there was a child. The sniper left the table (without argument) went to the street and returned with a gun.

He shot a black man (but the possibility of racism is ruled out) and another man. The first died immediately after being shot in the chest. The second, known as Nuno, was shot in the leg and transported to the hospital.

The sniper left immediately and left the panic inside the restaurant where, in addition to the owner, there was just one more employee and a friend of the owner. The sniper was not Sirius’ client, the mortal victim was.

The child, an 8-year-old girl, is the daughter of the man who was hit in the leg and watched everything. No business around was open.

PSP and EMIR were called immediately.
