Olympics-Stray bullet flies into equestrian press centre (Reuters)
(Adds comment from New Zealand delegation) By Caroline Stauffer and Daniel Flynn RIO DE JANEIRO, Aug 6 (Reuters) – A stray bullet cut through the plastic roof of the equestrian media centre in Rio de Janeiro on Saturday, alarming journalists and underlining concerns about the host city’s ability to guarantee security at the world’s biggest sporting event. The equestrian venue is sited next to a military complex, though police are still trying to discover who fired the bullet and from where, a spokesman for the Rio 2016 organising committee said. “It was a stray bullet and has nothing to do with the Games,” Mario Andrada said at a news conference, adding that security around the venue had been increased as a precaution.
