President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva expressed alarm at the scale of the killings, with the justice minister saying he was “astonished” that the federal government had not been briefed prior to the raid. The United Nations Human Rights office also condemned the incident, calling it “horrifying” and urging a thorough investigation into the use of force by police.
