Police Probe Eight Window Strikes at São Paulo’s InterContinental Hotel

Overview

• The InterContinental São Paulo, which found eight impacts Monday night on corridor windows between the 15th and 17th floors, reported no injuries and blocked access to the affected areas.
• Deatur opened an inquiry and is sweeping nearby condos and hotels after police concluded the shots came from outside the building, likely from a long-barrel weapon.
• Security video from a 16th-floor corridor, obtained by g1, shows the moment a projectile strikes tempered glass.
• The hotel said preliminary on-site forensics ruled out a conventional firearm and raised suspicion of airsoft-style pressure guns, with final lab findings still pending.
• Investigators expect those reports to pinpoint the weapon, ammunition and firing angle, which could move the case beyond simple property damage.
