Police officer shoots wife 11 times on the street in broad daylight

The 46-year-old man attacked his wife Veridiana Rodrigues Carneiro, 36, on the street in Uberlandia, south east Brazil, after having an argument. Daily Mail reported.

CCTV shows Mrs Rodrigues Carneiro attempting to run away before the man wields his state-issued police gun and shoots her in the back.

She can be seen slumped on the ground next to a parked car as her husband fires another 11 shots at close range.

The clip ends with the man walking out of sight. Police said he later locked himself in his house.

Officers from the Special Actions and Tactics Group (GATE) arrived soon after and surrounded the property.

The man handed himself in after hours of negotiation.

He was then taken to a psychiatric unit in the Clinical Hospital of the University of Uberlandia, where he is currently receiving treatment under police custody.

Officials said they did not know what the argument was about.

The video has since been shared on social media, with users labelling it disgusting.

Watch the video below.
