Um policial militar rodoviário morreu com um tiro disparado pela própria arma na madrugada desta quinta-feira, em São João da Boa Vista, interior de São Paulo. Daniel Cavalcanti da Silva, 29 anos, voltava de uma festa, com quatro amigos em um carro.

Daniel era recém-formado e estava de férias. O policial iria trabalhar a partir de janeiro, em Mogi Mirim, também no interior de São Paulo. A Polícia Civil instaurou inquérito para investigar o caso.
