Gunmen have stormed a nightclub in north-east Brazil, killing at least 14 people.<\/p>\n

Three cars of attackers swooped in on the venue, located on the outskirts of Fortaleza, during the early hours of Saturday morning.<\/p>\n

Two minors are among the dead and several people were taken to hospital, including a 12-year-old boy.<\/p>\n

Local media said the attackers were part of a criminal gang involved in drug trafficking.<\/p>\n

The security secretary for Ceara state, Andre Costa, confirmed the deaths at the Forro do Gago club in a press conference.<\/p>\n

“There is no reason for panic and fear,” Mr Costa was quoted by the Globo news network as saying.<\/p>\n

“It is a one-off event, as occurs all over the world, with 50 or 60 deaths,” he said, adding that the police could not have done anything to stop it.<\/p>\n

Last year, there were 5,114 murders in Ceara, a 50% rise from 2016. It was the highest toll since the state started releasing the data in 2013.<\/p>\n

A 2015 nightclub shooting, which killed 11 people, mostly teenagers, was previously Ceara’s deadliest mass shooting on record.<\/p>\n
