RIO - Criminals stormed a party and killed 14 people in the early hours of Saturday in a nightclub in the Cajazeiras neighborhood of Fortaleza. The death toll was announced by the Public Security Secretariat. The slaughter is considered the largest in the state.

Around 1h30m, a group of thugs arrived in three cars and broke into the house, known as Forró do Gago, already firing. Six injured were taken to the Dr. José Frota Institute (IJF), the largest emergency and emergency hospital in Fortaleza. All were shot. At least one of them is in serious condition. According to the Secretariat of Public Security and Social Defense (SSPDS), a person was arrested this afternoon, suspected of having participated in the crime. Along with her a rifle was seized.

One of the wounded is a 12-year-old teenager, the son of a hawking street vendor known as Brown, killed in the bombing. Also hospitalized are a 19-year-old girl, three other 16-year-old adolescents - two young girls - a 24-year-old boy and a 17-year-old boy. Three men, two women and two teenagers have been identified among the dead. The names, however, were not disclosed.

Police are working on the hypothesis of settlement between rival criminal factions. Witnesses heard by globonews reported that the shots lasted half an hour. Goers of the forró sheltered themselves in the house of residents of the street when fleeing of the attack. The population of the neighborhood is scared and avoids giving information.

At a news conference, the secretary of Public Security and Social Defense of Ceará, André Costa, however, said that the investigations are still in the initial phase and chose not to attribute the crime to a factional dispute. According to him, the slaughter was a planned and organized action, but "a case in point."

- Isolated events, occurring worldwide, cases with 50 deaths, 60 deaths. They are planned actions, which in some cases, with the work of the Police Intelligence, we managed to avoid and are not reported. In that case, unfortunately, we could not help it.

There are marks of shots on various walls of the concert hall and on vehicles that were parked close to the venue.

"I was at home getting ready to go out with my drinks to sell the place where the slaughter took place. Then they appeared firing. Killing whoever showed up. I walked into the house and saw them firing on Uber's driver. The passenger ran and the criminals shot her, but she, thank God, escaped, "one merchant told G1.

A helicopter from the Integrated Air Operations Coordination (Ciopaer) flew over the region. And searches were made in the neighborhood.
