"Six shots were fired this Friday night, in Portimão, hitting the dome of the Pavilhão Arena, from where the prime-minister José Socrates had left just half an hour before. From the six shots only two hit the dome.
A source from the prime-minister office said that Jose Socrates was, by the time of the shots, about 20 Kilometres away from the site of the shootings. According with one witness, who was outside the building, there were heard three gun shoots, followed by another three, without knowing the place from where they were made. The same witness also stated that there wasn’t any vehicle to be seen by the road next to the precinct, admitting the hypotheses that the gunshots where fired from a location near the Pavilhão Arena or in the residences that stand about 100 meters away.

The police would come to find five shells from a 7.65 mm gun, a calibre normally used by the security forces, in a parking lot 100 meters away from Pavilhão Arena."
