Two Military Police officers were wounded when a man took one officer's pistol during a struggle and shot them in eastern Sao Paulo, Brazil, on June 1, 2023. Robert Castro Abreu and an officer identified as Matos, both from the 38th Battalion, were conducting a routine stop on Rua Antonio Coutinho in Jardim Iguatemi around 9 a.m.

The officers had stopped two people beside a wall when one officer went to the patrol car's trunk and a man in a yellow shirt ran. Both officers grabbed him. During the struggle, he seized Abreu's pistol and shot both officers before escaping. Abreu suffered wounds to his right leg and abdomen; Matos was shot in the face. A witness used the patrol car's radio to call for help. Firefighters treated the officers before police helicopters took them to Hospital das Clinicas. Police described both as stable that day.

Police said a suspect was arrested later that day near the scene. The pistol was recovered from another man, whom police said had not participated in the shooting.
