This is the horrific moment a mother and son shot up a house in Brazil, killing two people and wounding a priest after a protracted rent battle.
CCTV footage showed the alleged gunmen, identified as cattle rancher Ines Gemilaki, 48, and 28-year-old emergency doctor Bruno Gemilaki Dal Poz, entering a house in Peixoto de Azevedo, central Brazil, on Sunday.
The duo, who arrived in a pickup truck, stormed into the home, which was occupied by eight people at the time, and started shooting.
Residents were seen jumping at the sound of gunfire before rushing to escape or hide.
Four people managed to escape through a glass door, but four chose to dive and hide in the house.

The duo, who arrived in a pickup truck, stormed into the home, which was occupied by eight people at the time, and started shooting.
Dust was blown out of the wall as Ines, seen in a blue top and white trousers, walked in and bolted into the house.
She can be seen peering over a couch and firing several shots at the people crouching behind them before running out of the house.
Footage from outside the property showed her husband and getaway driver, identified as Marcio Ferreira Gonçalves, 45, walking back to the pickup before being followed by Ines and Bruno, who fired shots from the yard with a 12-gauge shotgun.
They were seen buying beer, water and soda as they drove through a town eight miles away. Police are currently looking for them but have not found them yet.
Pilson Pereira da Silva, 69, and 81-year-old Rui Luiz Bogo died on the spot, while 45-year-old priest José Roberto Domingos was left injured after the bullet reportedly pinged his watch.
The priest was treated at hospital and is reportedly in a stable condition.

Rui’s daughter, 40-year-old Janete Bogo, told local media: “Initially the victims thought it was a robbery.”
She claimed: ‘My father didn’t even leave the table because he saw it was Ines, and he never imagined she would do something like that.
‘The gate was open, they arrived and went in.
“Unfortunately my father stayed put.”
Chief detective Anna Marien believes the motive for the shooting is a dispute over rent payments for the house where the crime took place.
She said: “The suspect rented that property from the owner and left behind a number of debts when he left the property, which led to a court case.
“This led to several disputes and misunderstandings between them, which ultimately resulted in this heinous crime.”

Hours before the shooting, Ines filed a police report against the home’s owner, claiming her family had received threats in connection with the lawsuit.

The getaway driver was identified as husband Marcio Ferreira Gonçalves, 45 years old.
She says the shooter’s target was the homeowner, but he was not hit.
The lead detective said: ‘The suspect left the house with some debts, and they kept arguing, which eventually led to this.
“The deceased had no connection whatsoever with the debt.”
Hours before the shooting, Ines filed a police report against the owner of the house and claimed her family had received threats in connection with the lawsuit.
She also told the police that three men broke into her house looking for her, told her she owed them money and also allegedly threatened her son.
Ines also told police she had received intimidating messages about a debt she said she did not owe.
