Brazilian police said Tuesday that they were investigating whether a gunshot was fired near a hotel where the Honduran national soccer team arrived to stay a few hours later.
According to a police officer in the town of Porto Feliz in Sao Paulo, it was unclear if the sound heard in front of the hotel was an actual gunshot, fireworks, or even a car backfiring.
The officer - who spoke to the press under the condition of anonymity - said that no spent cartridge was found in the street and neither the Transamerica Hotel or nearby buildings showed sign of being hit by a bullet.
Honduras' training camp is located in Porto Feliz, roughly 120 kilometers northwest of metropolitan Sao Paulo.
