The Russian vice-consul in Rio de Janeiro shot dead an armed would-be mugger who attempted to hold him up in his car near the Olympic Park. Marcos Cesar Feres Braga, a Brazilian lawyer who holds the vice-consul post at the Russian consulate, reportedly grabbed the attacker, who was on a motorbike, and pulled him into his BMW X6 after the man pointed a gun at him and smashed the car window. A struggle followed, during which the diplomat grabbed the muggers gun and shot him dead. The local media outlet Globo reports that Mr Braga is well-trained in Brazilian jiu-jitsu and was travelling in the car with his family.

Russian diplomat shoots dead armed mugger in RioWhat's the purpose of shooting a mugger who is already dead?
And if he's dead but armed, is he still really a mugger?

It’s amusing to read “Russian diplomat shoots dead....”
Guess not even a Russian diplomat is entirely “Diplomatic”...

Have to admit have never heard of "Brazilian jiu-jitsu".

No wonder the Rooskie name for water is “voda”..
All that “potato water’ can result in missing the “k” in “Voda”!

Some sources are now reporting that the shooter was not in fact a Russian diplomat, but instead was impersonating one.
