AL JAZEERA – Dozens of drug traffickers have opened fire on Brazilian soldiers who were patrolling a slum in Rio de Janeiro in an attempt to regain control of the massive Alemao favela, authorities said.
A 15-year-old girl was killed and at least 16 people were reported injured during the shooting on Tuesday which broke out around 7pm local time.
Hundreds of soldiers were sent into the community of around 100,000 people to prevent a gang from a neighbouring slum to take over the community police units set up in several points across the favela. Brazilian media reported that around 50 drug heavily armed traffickers from a nearby slum raided police units and shot at street lamps, leaving many streets in the dark. [click to continue…]
