Surveillance video shows a suspected robber target an off-duty female officer and get shot dead in the street.

The Daily Mail reported the incident occurred in Butanta, which is part of Sao Paulo, Brazil.

Video shows the unnamed female military police officer walking across the street when 40-year-old Francisco Gonsalves dos Santos Junior exited a car, impeded the officer’s path, and allegedly “tried to grab her.”

When the officer noticed Santos Junior allegedly cutting off her path she took a few steps back–buying time to retrieve her handgun–and then shot Santos Junior. He crumbled to the ground and was declared dead at the scene.

Amazonas1 reported that Santos Junior allegedly “made mention of being armed” as he approached the officer. He was allegedly trying to take away her gun even as she shot him.
