Brazilian police said a couple with their children (all under the age of four) traveled to Angra dos Reis, a popular holiday destination about 90 miles from Rio.

Political authorities said an unknown group approached the car and apparently told the family to come out and then opened fire, reportedly according to “Associated Press”.

A police statement said the woman, identified as Eloise Dixon 46 years old, was hit in the womb by being later treated at the hospital, British medium “Metro” reported, the Periscope broadcast.

Dixon was taken to the Yapuiba hospital, where her condition is said to be stable.

It is believed that the family was trying to find a shop to buy water when they took a wrong turn later to get to the incident.

Chief of Police Bruno Gilabert said they ended up in a slum called “Agua Santa” The Holy Water in Portuguese./Periscopi/
