November 23, 2017
An off-duty
Brazilian police officer had a baby under one arm when he pulled his gun and
engaged in a shoot out with two robbers, leaving the raiders dead.
The gun
battle took place in a pharmacy and part of it was captured on surveillance
footage.
Souza opened
fire when one of the robbers, wearing
a masked hoodie, pointed a gun at him.
At one point
the officer is seen handing the baby to his wife, who had taken cover behind
one of the store's aisles.
Brazilian
newspaper Estadao reported Sao Paulo police sergeant Rafael Souza, his wife and
the infant, were shopping in the city of Campo Limpo Paulista on Saturday.
Two men
stormed the shop and announced they were robbing the place.
One of the
robbers, wearing a masked hoodie pointed a gun at Souza. At that point Souza
pulled his gun and the shootout started.
Souza told
investigators he fired first because he believed the robbers would have opened
fire if he told them he was a police officer.
