Gunmen in Brazil have opened fire outside a bar in the northern city of Altamira, killing four people and wounding four others. Security camera footage from the shooting late on Saturday showed two attackers with handguns approachin­g patrons outside the venue and shooting several people. The authoritie­s are investigat­ing the attack as a “possible conflict between criminal factions,” Para state Governor Helder Barbalho said. Twelve people have been shot and killed in the city of 117,000 in two weeks, local media reported. Mr Barbalho said he had set up a 50-officer task force to investigat­e whether the crimes were related.
