A teen boy has escaped death after surviving being shot eight times in the bum and the rest of his body by would-be assassins in Brazil.
The two gunmen fired a total of 11 bullets at the 16-year-old teen in the state of Minas Gerais, Brazil, on Monday, 24th October 2022.
But despite eight of them penetrating the teen’s body, he was hospitalised without life-threatening consequences, media reported.

A video recorded by CCTV cameras that appeared on social media platforms showed the three people walking next to each other in the Simonesia municipality.
But suddenly one of the adult men took out a gun and started firing at the young boy’s head before he was joined by his pal.
After the boy managed to escape, the two men disappeared in a completely different direction as another boy and a motorbike driver witnessed the situation.

The boy was later rescued by SAMU (Mobile Emergency Attendance Service) who took him to the hospital in a conscious state.
He was reportedly shot eight times in the back, neck and buttocks.
Officers from the Military Police who later question the teen discovered that he was unaware of who the men were.
He also told them that he was heading to a friend’s house to buy cannabis when the incident occurred and that he had recorded the purchase deal on his cell phone.

But despite having searched the site in detail, the cops could not find the device which reportedly fell on the ground during the attack.
The officers then headed to the address where the teen boy was supposed to get the stash, but they failed to locate the alleged seller.
Meanwhile, residents of the neighbourhood where the crime happened found two 32-calibre gun projectiles on site, along with the 16-year-old boy’s jacket.

They handed the findings to the Civil Police.
The search for the two offenders continues.
