At least 25 people including a police officer have been killed in a shoot-out in Rio de Janeiro, according to local media.
The shoot-out took place during a police operation in a favela in the Jacarezinho area of the city.
Police launched the operation after receiving reports that drug traffickers were recruiting children for their gang.
Two passengers on a metro train were hit by bullets but survived.
Police in the Brazilian city confirmed the death of one of their officers, Inspector Andre Leonardo de Mello Frias. A statement on Facebook said "he honoured the profession he loved and will be missed".
According to local news, the gang targeted in this raid engages in drug trafficking, mugging, murders and kidnappings.

This is pretty normal for Brazil.
At least judging from all the Active Self Protection videos on YouTube.
Where is Sam Peckinpah when you need him?
James Coburn plays a German soldier on Eastern Front...
He had name
Steiner
Legendary
#9. Senta Berger. Now that was a woman!
After the shootout in Rio, someone said “This isn’t Portland, Toto!”
In CROSS OF IRON, there are female Soviet soldiers...
Did they send in John Wick?
“This is pretty normal for Brazil.”
A guy from Brazil post on my car page on FB. He is fairly well to do and explains he has concertina wire above the 12 foot wall protecting his house along with state of art security systems and is well armed.
Past kidnapping attemp on his family members or attempted robberies.
I would not live there for anything.
Brazil has draconian gun control, compared to the United States.
I would not live there for anything.
The Democrats are working hard to turn the USA into Brazil.
**In CROSS OF IRON, there are female Soviet soldiers... **
But, but they BITE!
Yes, indeed...
Steiner (James Coburn) did not like how some German soldiers behaved towards female prisoners...
In any case, I think CROSS OF IRON was a good war movie...
