Rio Olympics 2016: Bullet strikes stable at Olympic equestrian centre

Rio de Janeiro, Aug 11: Nobody was hurt when a bullet struck one of the stables at the Olympic equestrian center here on Wednesday, a spokesman for the 2016 Rio Games organising committee said.

The weekend incident was attributed to an attempt by a shooter in a nearby shantytown to hit one of the camera-equipped blimps that provide footage for Olympic television coverage.

A bus carrying journalists between Olympic venues was pelted with stones on Tuesday.
