Civil police officer Bruno Tavares, who was shot during a robbery at a barber shop, is hospitalized, but is in stable condition and is not in danger of dying.

The crime took place last Tuesday (31) and was recorded by a security camera at the barber shop, on Avenida Piauí. In the images, two men participate in the robbery and one of them goes towards the police officer, who was in the chair being attended to.

The robber tries to take possessions and realizes that the police officer is armed. With difficulty, he tries to take the gun from the police officer, but is unable to do so, until another robber arrives and shoots the police officer.

The police officer falls to the ground and the robbers manage to escape, stealing the gun. Bruno, who is stationed in the municipality of União, in Piauí, was rescued and taken alive to the HUT, in Teresina, to undergo surgery and, so far, his life is not in danger.

Also on Tuesday, the military and civil police set up an operation and managed to arrest, also in Timon, the two suspects of committing the crime against the police officer.

The pair were taken to the Timon Police Station and the police officer’s weapon was recovered.
