Flavio de Oliveira, 31, fatally shot Matheus Castro, 20, at point blank range by accident before getting out of his car to see his dying friend and then proceeding to kill himself
An off-duty cop who had apparently spent the afternoon drinking at a bar with his friends in Goiania, central west Brazil fatally shot his friend in the head by accident before realizing his mistake and turning the gun on himself.
31-year-old Flavio de Oliveira, who had recently graduated from military police school, had planned to drive home after socializing last Thursday. He was inside his car and chatting to his mates who were gathered around the vehicle when a single shot rang out.
