Exciting update from the in-laws in Brazil
Bunch of ne'er-do-wells drinking in the butecca had a set-to that escalated into a shooting free-for-all. A guy was shot 30 times in front of my mother-in-law's front door. She's staying with us in the UK but has helpfully been able to give the police CCTV footage remotely so they can see what happened.

Family over there often ask "when you coming to visit?"

Seems a waste of ammo to me. 2 pops and drop, next target

Update - the report was incorrect
the police found 30 used cases on the floor and the guy who had been shot was found wtih 8 bullets in him. Just goes to show how pissed they were.

More information incoming:
" he’s a lower grade crack seller on the corner near a boteco.... Probably a HR issue. He’s very low on the pecking order."

No, there was a whole bunch of them
My first question was "bunch of pissed up gang members or one gang member with an uzi?"

It was a buch of low-level gang members with shitty guns. Probably Tarus.

They really need some gun training. That's just poor form .

packin = carrying a gun, 30 used cases = suitcases: packing suitcases, it's a play on words garold
