A man was arrested by the Military Police in Rosana, São Paulo, after he fired a gun in public and threatened church attendees during a worship service. The incident occurred on Avenida Paranapanema when the man reportedly shot off rounds to compel the congregation to lower the volume of their service. Local residents alerted the police, leading to a swift response from the 42nd Battalion.

When police arrived, they located the suspect at his home. Upon investigation, they found a .22 caliber round in his pocket, despite his claims of innocence and denial of gun ownership. However, cartridges of the same caliber were discovered outside his residence, and further searches revealed a .22 caliber rifle, a replica revolver, ammunition, and a pressure gun. This evidence contradicted his statements and underscored the seriousness of the situation.

The man was subsequently taken into custody for these acts, which not only violated public peace but also raised concerns about public safety and the potential for escalation in similar disputes. The case highlights the ongoing tensions between community activities, such as church services, and individual grievances, as well as the legal ramifications of firearm misuse in residential areas.
