In Salvador, a man was injured by a gunshot in the knee while leaving a party at Wet Eventos on Saturday night. He was with his wife when he heard a cry for help from his compadre, who was approached by an assailant after leaving the event. The situation escalated quickly when a man exited a vehicle and struck the victim's compadre with the gun, leading to the shooting.
