A woman was shot in the bum after a furious row over VIP access at a country music concert turned violent.
Shocking CCTV shows Giovanna Adriana Abdalla, 29, flinching in pain before clutching herself and stumbling back into a pick-up truck moments after shots rang out.
The drama began at a gig in Franca, Brazil, on Saturday night (11 April).

Giovanna and her husband Marcelo Silva Rossato, 33, were in a VIP area when Marcelo confronted businessman Rafael Araldi Moreira over his presence.
Rafael, 36, insisted he had permission to be there – but the situation quickly escalated.
Marcelo claims Rafael hurled insults at Giovanna, calling her a “wh_re” and a “sl_t”, before being removed from the venue.
The couple later left the concert and contacted Rafael, who said he was already home.
They then drove to his address in the early hours of Sunday (12 April), as reported by Need To Know.
Footage shows Giovanna striking a gate with a belt shortly before the shooting.
Moments later, gunshots were heard – with Marcelo claiming Rafael fired from behind a wall while shouting threats.
Giovanna was hit in the buttock, and the couple rushed back into their vehicle before speeding to hospital.
She remains in serious but stable condition after undergoing surgery.
Rafael has since given a different version of events.
He told police he had been attacked at the concert by multiple people, including Marcelo, and was hit with a bottle, an ice bucket and drinks.
He claims Marcelo later called him threatening to kill him.
Rafael said that when he heard shouting outside his home, he grabbed a legally owned gun and fired a shot fearing Marcelo was armed.
He insists he did not see Giovanna at the time.
After the incident, he contacted police and handed over the weapon.
Rafael is now under investigation for two counts of attempted murder and remains in custody, with his lawyer seeking bail.
Police are continuing to investigate and are working to establish exactly what happened, disputing his claim of self-defence.
