The victim was the ONLY person in that store who DIDN'T know what was about to happen.

Looks like someone Google translate the original news from Portuguese.

But the question still stands who buys candy at a bakery?

In the civilized world you only find bread, pastry and cake at a bakery!

Not to mention the place looks like a 7-Eleven

The angle of the first shot is a little downward. She took it right in the head. You are correct in your assumption as far as I can tell. Good call!

Certainly does look like that. Guessing not too many would fall straight backward to avoid gunfire...unless it happened on a boat and you were wearing SCUBA gear...or on an airplane and you had your chute on...or...
