Security cameras recorded the moment when the attacker arrived at the headquarters with a gun in his hand, looked around, opened fire on the newsroom, and left

Rondoniaovivo condemned the attack and said several threats has been received for their work collecting information on activities of coup-mongering and extreme-rightwing groups who do not accept Luiz Inácio Lula Da Silva’s win in the Oct. 30 elections

Rondoniaovivo positioned itself in the last few days against a group of the Rondonian society that defends a coup d’état in Brazil and does not accept the last presidential elections,” the outlet said in a statement

They are the same who defend freedom, but prevent the right of citizens to come and go; they say that a dictatorship is the solution for all the ills that afflict our country, a contradiction,” it added

The newspaper had appeared on social media in a list of companies to boycott “for being considered leftist.” The publication said it was “the extreme right with its Nazi-fascist methods acting in Rondônia” that was responsible for the attack

Local authorities also reported having retrieved at least 10 9mm pistol casings

Brazil‘s National Federation of Communicators (Fenacom) expressed its solidarity with Rondoniaovivo and its workers while warning about the increasing number of attacks on journalists and media

The shots that hit the facade of the building hit a concrete wall, but the worst of all is that they hit democracy,” Rondoniaovivo claimed
