A shooting frightened residents and people passing through the Montese neighborhood, in Fortaleza, on the afternoon of last Tuesday (23). Two suspects (a man and a teenager) tried to rob civilian police officers, who reacted. There was an exchange of gunfire, and the pair were captured.
The Civil Police of Ceará (PC-CE) confirmed, in a statement, that it "captured an adult and a teenager suspected of attempted robbery against three civil police officers." "At the time, two inspectors and a clerk were in an unmarked car when they were approached by three people who were in a cloned vehicle. The teenager shot at the officers, initiating an exchange of gunfire and was injured," the agency described.
A 17-year-old boy, who was shot in the exchange of gunfire, was apprehended and taken to a health facility under police escort. Against him, an infractional act analogous to the crime of attempted robbery will be recorded. He was already responding to drug trafficking offenses.
