WorldView: At least 25 dead in Brazil raid
Police targeting drug traffickers raided a slum in Rio de Janeiro on Thursday, resulting in the fatal shooting of at least one officer and two dozen other people, authorities said. The civil police's press office confirmed the death of the cop and 24 alleged "criminals" in a message to The Associated Press.
A police helicopter flew low over the Jacarezinho favela as heavily armed men fled police by leaping from roof to roof, according to images shown on local television.
One woman told The Associated Press she saw police kill a badly wounded man she described as helpless and unarmed who they found after he had fled into her house.
