Rio Olympics: Stray bullet flies into equestrian media center (Reuters)

By Caroline Stauffer and Daniel Flynn RIO DE JANEIRO (Reuters) – A stray bullet cut through the plastic roof of the equestrian media center on Saturday, alarming journalists and underlining concerns about the host city’s ability to guarantee security at the world’s biggest sporting event. “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. A spokesman for New Zealand’s Olympic team said the bullet had fallen close to where the team’s press attache was seated.
