‘Everyone knows that we have suffered continuous attacks on social networks promoted by this person, who does not even respect the honor of our family members,” Bautista de Lima wrote on social media. “Emotionally shaken by the gratuitous attacks fired against my wife, I really went to take (my frustrations on) him.’ 
De Oliveira was standing in front of a gate outside his residence when Batista de Lima charged at him. Batista de Lima was struck on the right leg and was rushed to a local hospital. The wound was not considered life threatening.

De Oliveira turned over footage of the incident and the handgun to the Atibaia Military Police before he was arrested on an attempted murder charge Sunday.
He told the police that he reached into his vehicle and grabbed the gun before he unloaded a full ammunition clip.
‘He fired the shot with the intention of scaring the deputy mayor, stopping the attacks and for his protection and that of his family,’ de Oliveira’s lawyer, Danilo Gerage said, as quoted by Brazilian news outlet G1.
‘There was no shot with intent to kill. He even called the police, handed over the gun and the images.’

Police however, disputed de Oliveira’s version of the shooting, pointing out he may have been carrying the weapon due to the amount of time that had passed between the moment he was assaulted by Batista de Lima and when he opened fire.
