Rio 2016: Police find second bullet in equestrian media centre, with chief saying ‘nobody is 100 per cent safe’
POLICE in Rio found another bullet inside the Olympic equestrian media centre yesterday – the second time a stray shot has been picked up at the venue over the past week.
The latest bullet was discovered near the horse stables at the venue in the northern suburb of Deodoro, and was found only four days after a bullet passed through the tented roof of the centre.
The equestrian centre houses horses worth millions of pounds.
Major General Luiz Eduardo Ramos confirmed the second bullet, saying: “This morning the military police arrested one guy with a rifle and at exactly more or less the time that operation was going on the bullet was found here. We cannot say for certain he was shooting the same weapon.
"So far it’s very difficult to say where the bullet came from.
