On Saturday, a bullet was found inside the media tent at the equestrian center. Rio organizers believe the bullet came from a local person shooting at a police blimp.

The bullets found at the equestrian center underscore safety concerns at the 2016 Summer Games in Rio. On Tuesday, a bus containing media members saw its glass shatter due to either bullets or stones.
