ENGLISH . Now read a true story about Julinho, a 16-year-old boy in Rio de Janeiro and his tragic death in Brazil. POLICE ACCUSED OF RIO MASSACRE 1. Sixteen-year old Marcelo Julio Gomes do Nascimento lived in Queimados, a poor suburb of Rio de Janiero. Julinho, as his friends called him, secretly admired the local police. They had powerful guns and looked tough. One warm evening last week, Julinho saw the reality of this image of the police when he was standing outside a bar talking to some of his friends. 2. An unmarked car came around the corner. The people in the car were wearing masks. They fired shots at Julinho and his friends. The shots were so accurate that they didn't leave any marks on the walls of the bar. Who were the men in the car? Were they just petty criminals and was this another random shooting? People in Queimados now believe that the murderers were off-duty policemen. They think that the murders were part of a vendetta between the policemen and their boss. 3. A short distance away, Adriana Paz Gomes sits on the steps of her modest home weeping for the loss of her son. "I was watching a soap opera when I heard the shots. I knew immediately what it was," she says. Ms. Gomes ran into the street and found four bodies in the road. Then someone pointed to a fifth body, the body of her son. "I have such lovely memories of my son. He seemed to be sleeping and I took him in my arms, but he didn't wake up," she says. 4. Julinho's murder was the last in a series of shootings that night. In total, 30 people died. The shooting began in the town of Nova Iguacu, where 18 people were killed. Some were in the street when the killers drove past, while nine of the victims , including three teenagers were in a bar playing video games. The gunmen then moved on to Queimados where they killed 12 more people. 5. Two days before the shootings, two men, one of them a drug dealer, were taken from a bar and killed. Someone threw a human head into the police-station compound. Then hidden cameras filmed police officers in uniform as they were trying to take some bodies away. Eight police officers are now in prison because of this. The authorities believe that last week's murders were a protest against these arrests.WORK IN PAIRSLook in the text and find this information as quickly as possible. 1.
