Bolsonaro Supporter Shoots Dead Official in Brazil's Workers' Party
-------------------------------------------------------------------

A supporter of Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro shot dead a local
official of the opposition Workers' Party on Saturday. The attacker
reportedly shouted words of praise for Bolsonaro as he shot Marcelo
Arruda, who was at a party celebrating his birthday. The Workers' Party
is led by former President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, who is running
against Bolsonaro in this year's election.
