Sao Paulo: A policeman was in custody in western Brazil after he shot and killed a colleague who pranked him by faking a holdup, local media said on Friday.
The incident reportedly occurred late on Thursday in Rondonopolis, in Mato Grosso state, when the prankster turned up on a motorcycle outside the officer's house and told him he was being held up.
Caught unaware, the officer, who was in a car, pulled out his gun and fired several shots into the stomach of the fellow cop, who died after being rushed to hospital, according to reports.
