In a courtroom in Brazil, a man attending the trial for his father's killer took matters into his own hands by shooting the suspect multiple times and assaulting him. The dramatic attack was captured on CCTV, showing chaos as the gunman opened fire on the defendant, causing judges and jurors to flee for cover. Despite the violence, the victim survived and was treated at a local hospital before being discharged.The assailant, Cristiano Alves Terto, 27, chased the defendant, Francisco Cleidivaldo Mariano de Moura, across the courtroom and continued to assault him. Police on the scene eventually arrested Terto on suspicion of attempted murder. The incident stemmed from Moura killing Alves in 2012, claiming self-defense after an altercation where Alves allegedly threatened him with a stick.Moura had been on the run for over a decade before his arrest, while Terto remains in prison awaiting trial. The court has not yet set a retrial date for Moura, leaving the case in limbo as authorities navigate the aftermath of the courtroom attack.
