26-year-old volunteers in Brazil misled into removing guns from flooded airport.

Volunteers in Brazil's flooded south claim they were misled into participating in an operation to remove thousands of guns from the airport of Rio Grande do Sul state's capital, Porto Alegre. A 26-year-old investor, Nicolas Vedovatto, and three others found out through a WhatsApp group that help was needed to save stranded children at the flooded airport. They offered their support, then met a woman identifying herself as Vivian Rodriguez, who informed them they would be rescuing rifles and pistols for Brazil's largest gun manufacturer, Taurus Armas.
