A person who pulled a gun on a kitesurf athlete he argued with on a beach in Brazil pulled the trigger despite the screams of bystanders. By chance, the gun jammed, preventing a possible murder at the last moment, while the search for the fleeing attacker continues. Everyone who watched the shocking footage questioned, 'Taking a gun to the beach'
Blood-chilling moments unfolded before the eyes of holidaymakers at Arubinha Beach in the Arraial do Cabo region of Brazil's Rio de Janeiro state.
A man in shorts and a hat, walking in shallow water by the seaside, pulled a gun on a kitesurf athlete after an argument for reasons yet unknown. The incident was captured second by second on the cell phone cameras of terrified tourists and jet ski drivers nearby.
HE PULLED THE TRIGGER AMID CRIES OF 'BETO NO!'
In the footage, the angry individual is clearly seen ruthlessly pointing a black pistol at his target. Women filming and those around are heard shouting 'Beto, no Beto!' in a state of great panic, trying to stop the man. The moments when the attacker ignored the screams and warnings, aimed the gun, and pulled the trigger left viewers breathless.
THE GUN JAMMING PREVENTED A MURDER
According to details reported in the Brazilian press and confirmed by eyewitnesses, this attacker, addressed as 'Beto,' pulled the trigger twice in succession, but the gun jammed by chance. Thanks to the gun not firing, a potential murder and major tragedy on the crowded beach were narrowly avoided.
It was reported that the attacker, who put the gun back in his waistband and continued to hurl threats for a while, fled the scene and disappeared, and the police have launched an investigation to capture him.
