Horror moment gunmen open fire killing 7 including 12-year-old girl when they were 'laughed at for losing pool match' | The Sun
HORROR footage shows the moment seven people are gunned down after the killers opened fire in a pool hall in Brazil.
A 12-year-old girl was among the victims of the bloody massacre at a bar in Sinop City in the Brazilian state of Mato Grosso.
Police say the killers had just lost two matches in a row and took their sickening revenge on other people in the pool bar who had laughed at them.
Chilling CCTV footage shows one of the killers armed with a handgun lining people up against the wall, while the second gets a shotgun from a pickup truck.
Within 10 seconds, six people were dead, while a seventh victim, Elizeu Santos da Silva, 47, died later from gunshot wounds.
The six other victims have been named as Larissa Frasao de Almeida, 12, Orisberto Pereira Sousa, 38, Adriano Balbinote, 46, Getulio Rodrigues Frasao Junior, 36, Josue Ramos Tenorio, 48, and Maciel Bruno de Andrade Costa, 35.

One woman who was left alive can be seen standing and holding her arms up in horror after the gunmen have left.
Before they left, the killers took all of the cash left on the pool tables, stealing a purse belonging to one of the victims.
Police Lieutenant Romening dos Santos Silva said the mass murder was triggered by petty revenge after the pair became furious when they were mocked for losing.
After their first defeat, they went to get more money, only to lose again on their return.
Lt Silva said: "The way it happened, it is clear that some victims may not even have been involved with the game that was taking place at the establishment."
Sinop is a small city of around 200,000 people in central-west Brazil, just under 600 miles northwest of the Brazilian capital Brasilia.
