Hooded men killed 15 people on a ranch in Guaira, Parana , Brazilian southern State, border with Paraguay.The gunmen fled by boat to neighboring country. Police in both countries were searching for the suspects, some of whom were identified by survivors as drug gang members.
Police say hooded gunmen have killed 15 people on an alleged drug trafficker's ranch in southern Brazil.
Federal police officer Claudio Cesar says five assailants invaded the ranch Monday in Guaira, in the state of Parana.
Cesar says the suspected trafficker and two of his sons are among the 15 dead. Five people were wounded, two of them seriously.
The gunmen apparently fled by boat to neighboring Paraguay
Quinze pessoas (entre elas três menores) foram assassinadas por homens encapuzados na tarde desta segunda-feira em Guaíra, no Oeste do Paraná, na fronteira com o Paraguai. A polícia faz uma grande mobilização na região em busca dos criminosos e tenta saber se há mais corpos. Segundo a Secretaria de Segurança do estado, o crime foi cometido por traficantes brasileiros que saíram de barco do Paraguai para cobrar dívidas. Depois do crime, eles teriam voltado ao país vizinho. Oito pessoas também ficaram feridas e ajudarão a polícia nas investigações.
Segundo o agente da Polícia Federal Carlos Augusto Durans Rocha, a chacina aconteceu na Vila Santa Clara, perto do lago de Itaipu.
- As primeiras informações que temos são que quem estava dentro do local e nas proximidades foi morto -disse Durans.
O policial federal afirmou que foi encontrada munição de quatro calibres diferentes no sítio.
- Os efetivos da Polícia Militar, Civil e Federal foram para o local apurar a situação - explicou.

I think this is an important story and would benefit from other NowPublic contributors working on it. I've flagged it as News Wanted and invite others in relevant locations to look for more evidence.

Luiz Castro, I like this story. It's good stuff. This is obviously not the "Fazenda da Esperanca", what I know from Brazil. On the country side in general you have not even to close your housedoor for security in Brazil. Drugs make too much money.
