A Brazilian police officer playing a prank on a colleague by simulating a hold-up has been shot and killed.

An officer in the city of Rondonopolis was pulling out of his garage to go to work, when his friend rode up on a motorcycle wearing a helmet saying it was a hold-up.

The officer in the car drew his gun and fired several shots into his friend's stomach.

When he realised it was his friend, he rushed him to a hospital, but it was too late.
