A bus carrying journalists between venues at the Olympic Games in Rio is hit by gunfire, according to witnesses, but no one is seriously injured. Ashraf Fahim reports.
Journalists covering the Olympics in Rio had a close call Tuesday night when they say their bus came under fire.
Passengers say two shots were fired, shattering the bus’s windows.
There were no serious injuries.
Olympic volunteer Kaan Korkmaz was on the media bus and said it all happened suddenly
“We were on the highway going fast and we hear a loud noise and we just got shot at, two windows and we could see the bullet. I’m just in shock now.”
The bus was traveling from the basketball venue to the main Olympic park.
“I guess I’m, I guess we’re all lucky to be alive now.”
Rio’s violent street crime had already left its mark on South America’s first Olympic Games.
On Saturday, a bullet suspected to have been shot by a gang member hit the equestrian center, missing journalists there by just a few feet.
