The moment Cristiano Alves Terto, a man seeking vengeance, shot his father’s accused killer in the middle of a courtroom was captured on a very unsettling video.
According to CNN Brasil, Cristiano Alves Terto, 27, was observed shooting six times at Francisco Cleidivaldo Mariano De Moura, 38, during a jury trial for his father’s murder in São José do Belmonte, Brazil.
The disturbing incident unfolded on Nov. 29, but the video of the shooting was only released to the public this week.
Footage from inside the courtroom depicts Terto running toward the front with a .38-caliber revolver pointed directly at De Moura, who is sitting only steps away from a juror and an attorney.
Terto fired at least twice while charging him.
The rest of the courtroom descends into chaos as jurors and court staff scatter while the vengeful Terto unleashes his fury at De Moura.
Terto fires another round of shots at De Moura from point-blank range while the defendant stumbles on the floor, trying to seek cover from the hail of bullets.
De Moura makes his way behind a desk while Terto continues to fire until the six-shooter is empty.
Moments later, De Moura collapses on the floor behind the magistrates’ bench, but Terto rushes around it and furiously strikes him twice in the head with the gun, the video shows.
The son then flees the courtroom, while two women who tried pulling him away from De Moura while he was striking him are seen panicking.
