SAO PAULO (AP) — Brazilian police say six men were shot to death in a low-income working class district on the outskirts of Sao Paulo.

Authorities say gunmen barged into a bar Wednesday morning and opened fire, immediately killing three men. The gunmen then shot and killed three more men outside as they were fleeing.

Citing residents in the Jardim Sao Luis district, police say one person who was unloading merchandise nearby was wounded by the gunmen, who got away.

Police say they are still investigating the motive for the shooting.
