This is the shocking moment a British man shoots and injures a rival pool player after accusing him of scamming him during a game in a Peruvian bar.
The incident took place at Molly’s Irish Bar in Miraflores, a city in the Lima province, just after Halloween.
The pair can be seen arguing mid-way through an even game as a couple of women at the other side of the bar chat to one another.
The man, named locally as Benito Graffagnino, starts speaking more aggressively to the rival and one of the girls moves over.
Both men are gesturing and Graffagnino speaks to the woman before he appears to draw out a small gun and fire at his opponent after apparently calling him a ‘phony’, as the girls cover their ears and run away.
