Soccer Referree Pulls Gun on Players, Coaches

A soccer referee in Brazil, Gabriel Murta, lost his cool and did something that shocked players, coaches and fans in a recent game.

Murta had apparently been kicked and punched by players on the Amantes de Bola team after they were upset about one of his calls. But what they didn’t know was that Murta is also a policeman by day, and he wasn’t going to stand for it.

So Murta went to the dressing room and grabbed his gun. He returned to the field and pulled it on Amantes de Bola players and coaches. The assistant referee attempted to restrain him and begged him to put it away, which is certainly not something you see every day in the world of sports.
