THIS is the shocking moment a gunman shot up a livestreamed multimillion-dollar pool tournament – killing two and injuring four.
Two suspects stormed the tournament hall’s grand opening and opened fire on terrified players and fans in Bogota, Colombia.
They broke into the Gran Templo del Billar bar on Saturday night before one of them snuck into the main pool hall.
He spent a few minutes attempting to recognize his target before shooting and fatally injuring two individuals in Villa des Rosario, close to the Venezuelan border.
The disturbing incident was captured by a social media livestream which was being broadcast to fans at the time of the attack.
Dramatic footage showed the players peacefully playing, with one about to clear the table, before everyone suddenly ducks down for cover.
The panicked spectators hurry together away from the table as the camera is knocked off of its stand.
Gunshots ring out, scaring the viewers and players away from the sporting event.
Two victims have so far been identified as Edwin Uribe, a well-known currency trader, and Samir Olarte, owner of a motorcycle store.
In a statement on social media, George Quintero, Secretary of Citizen Security for Norte de Santander, reported, “Last night, two individuals lost their lives and four others were discovered wounded.
“We are offering a reward of up to £9,353 (COP 50 million) for information leading to a clarification of the events.
“Numerous eyewitnesses observed the perpetrator as he first entered the premises and took the life of one of the individuals present. Unfortunately, he also harmed several others while fleeing the scene.”
The four injured victims were taken to the Duarte Medical Clinic, according to local media, but there have been no further updates on their current condition.
The authorities have not ruled out the possibility that the shooting was related to a criminal gang operating on the border between Colombia and Venezuela.
The investigation is ongoing.
