I always thought Rio was a happy place ! Maybe it has been happy too long ?
And now it looks like it is turning into another Mexico !
RIO DE JANEIRO (Reuters) - Police killed seven suspected drug traffickers in Rio de Janeiro on Wednesday, bringing to 33 the total number of deaths since the city's worst recent outbreak of violence erupted over the weekend.
Three suspects were killed after they opened fire on police searching a slum in the north of the city for gang members linked to shooting down a police helicopter on Saturday, police spokesman Oderlei Santos said.
Four others were killed in separate operations in the city's wealthier southern zone, police said.
State authorities have mobilized several thousand police to secure the city and search for drug traffickers who brought the helicopter down, killing three police officers.
Twenty-seven suspected gang members and three residents caught in cross-fire between gangs have been killed since Saturday in violence that has tarnished Rio's image only a few weeks after it was awarded the 2016 Olympics.
Real Nice , the 2016 Olympics should be even more entertaining , they can keep cutting back and forth between Gymnastics and Track and field to Drug induced riots And police killing people !
