Seven people died, including a 12-year-old girl in a shooting rampage after they mocked two men for losing pool games in Brazil, reported The Mirror. 

As per the report, the men lost two consecutive games in Sinop City, in the state of Mato Grosso, and went on a shooting spree when the other players laughed at them for losing, Mirror reported citing Newsflash. 

A footage of the incident has also gone viral. The chilling footage shows one of the men lining up the victims against the wall in apparent preparation for an execution-style shooting, while the other grabbed a shotgun from a pickup truck. 

In just moments, the place of the pool game became witness to a deadly shooting leaving seven people dead, including a 12-year-old girl. 

In the video, the first man in a white T-shirt is shot at point-blank range while the other man joins in with his handgun. A woman can be seen holding up her arms as the gunmen leave the scene of the massacre, reported Mirror. 

The murderers flee the scene after grabbing small amounts of cash on pool tables, as well as a woman’s purse. 

According to the report, the six who died instantly were identified as Larissa Frasao de Almeida, 12, Orisberto Pereira Sousa, 38, Adriano Balbinote, 46, Getulio Rodrigues Frasao Junior, 36, Josue Ramos Tenorio, 48, and Maciel Bruno de Andrade Costa, 35. 

 A seventh, Elizeu Santos da Silva, 47, was pronounced dead later, it added. 

Police have identified the shooters as Edgar Ricardo de Oliveira, 30, and Ezequias Souza Ribeiro, 27, who are still on the run, the report added. 

As per the Mirror, Delegate of the Civil Police, Braulio Junqueira said, “Oliveira had played a pool game against one of the victims on Tuesday morning and lost around 4,000 reais (£640).” 

He said, “In the afternoon, he returned with Ezequiel and challenged the man for a second time but lost again, prompting bystanders to laugh.” 

"The way it happened, it is clear that some victims may not even have been involved with the game that was taking place at the establishment," the officer further added. 

The report added that according to police records, Oliveira had been arrested in the past for domestic violence while the other man, Souza has a lengthy criminal record that includes arrests for illegal possession of a firearm, gang robbery, assault and threat.
