The PM's internal affairs department will investigate a police officer for shooting at a political event at the entrance to a federal university in SE

In addition to the PM's investigation procedure, the Civil Police is already seeking images from security cameras in the region and videos recorded by witnesses to clarify the dynamics of the events.

Videos circulating on social media show people running during a political event - the protesters wore red clothes in reference to the PT and the party's re-election candidate. Nobody was injured. The weapon was seized by the police. An expert will perform a residuographic examination, which is used to detect traces of gunpowder on the suspect.

In a statement, the SSP and the Military Police command reinforced that they do not condone misconduct, illegalities or actions that contradict the principles that govern the actions of the security forces.

The SSP also stated that it works to ensure that the democratic process, especially in this second round of elections, takes place peacefully, with respect for freedom of expression and the safety of all citizens.

In a statement, the Federal University of Sergipe (UFS) reported that it is monitoring the case and is in contact with public security authorities. The institution also highlighted that it repudiates any form of violence or intimidation, regardless of political orientation.

On social media, chief minister of the General Secretariat of the Presidency of the Republic, Guilherme Boulos, commented on what happened: "URGENT! Armed Bolsonarista shoots at Lula's demonstration in Sergipe! Zambelli, Roberto Jefferson and now the Sergipe shooter... This is the Brazil of Bolsonaristas", he published.

The Union's attorney general, Jorge Messias, also used social media to speak out about the case. "It is necessary to denounce, with complete clarity, what is happening again. Brazil has already lived this script — and knows its consequences. This is political violence: the same environment of radicalization that contributed to the deaths of innocent people in 2018 and 2022, fueled the 'bang-bang' in the streets and on social media and culminated in the destruction of the headquarters of the Three Powers on January 8, 2023 seems to be gaining strength again", he posted.
