Eight men have been killed at a football fan club in Brazil's biggest city, Sao Paulo, police say. They said the supporters of the Corinthians club were preparing banners ahead of a match when gunmen burst in.
The attackers ordered seven fans to lie down before shooting them. The eighth man was hit as he tried to flee.
Police say the killings at the Pavilhao Nove supporters' group were likely to be drug related.
Witnesses say three gunmen stormed into the makeshift club in a working class suburb of Sao Paulo late on Saturday. The victims were having a barbecue as they prepared for Corinthians' next match.
Sao
Paulo police suggested the Pavilhao Nove group may have had links to
criminal gangs, saying the killings were probably more to do with a
dispute over drugs trafficking than with football.
