In a tragic incident on Saturday night, a 41-year-old man lost his life while his 42-year-old wife sustained injuries during a shooting attack in the rural area of Petrolina, Pernambuco. The attack occurred near a beverage distribution company in the community of Vila Nova do N-8, part of the irrigated perimeter known as Senador Nilo Coelho.
