A tragic incident unfolded at São Paulo’s international airport as a businessman was fatally shot in what appears to be a targeted attack. The unfortunate event also left three others injured, creating a scene of chaos and fear.
According to reports, approximately five assailants emerged from a black vehicle and unleashed gunfire on the businessman, identified as Antônio Vinicius Gritzbach. The brazen attack took place at the airport entrance, causing panic among travelers and bystanders.
Following the shooting, a vehicle matching the description of the assailants' car was discovered abandoned near the airport premises. Investigators are now working diligently to ascertain whether this vehicle was indeed used in the attack.
Disturbing videos circulating on social media captured the aftermath of the incident, showing the businessman's lifeless body at the airport entrance and people scrambling for safety inside the terminal. However, the authenticity of these videos has not been independently verified.
