RIO DE JANEIRO - A second man has died following a mistaken military shooting of a family car that has roused protests in Brazil. Macedo was collecting recycling materials when soldiers opened fire on a family’s sedan in Rio de Janeiro. Authorities say they confused the car with a similar one reportedly used in a robbery. Macedo was shot while trying to help those injured in the sedan. Ten of the 12 soldiers involved in the shooting are in military custody while the case is investigated.
