The victim was transported to Barreiro Hospital, and the severity of the injuries remains unknown at this time.
The alert was raised around 1:30 PM on a street in Barreiro Velho, near the new PSP station in Barreiro. As of 3:50 PM, the suspect was still barricaded inside the house. A PSP operation is ongoing at the scene.
