Policiais do Batalhão de Operações Especiais da Polícia Militar do Estado de Alagoas estão garantindo a segurança do pastor evangélico americano John David Leonard, internado na Unidade de Tratamento Intensivo (UTI) do Hospital Artur Ramos, em Maceió. De acordo com o último boletim médico, divulgado na noite desta quarta-feira, o estado do pastor ainda é grave. Leonard foi baleado na noite do último domingo, no município de Coqueiro Seco, cerca de 30 km da capital alagoana. O pastor mora nos Estados Unidos, mas veio para o Brasil a fim de acompanhar o tratamento médico do filho.

A polícia, que investiga o caso, ainda não possui uma linha de investigação definida. O prazo estabelecido para a entrega do inquérito deve ser prorrogado.
