“Security is investigating that incident and will make a statement later,” the venue manager Anja Krabbe told Reuters, adding she was not in the tent where journalists reported hearing an object tear through the plastic.

Equestrian magazine Horse & Hound posted a picture online of the bullet it reported seeing fly into the press centre. Mario Andrada, spokesman for Rio 2016, said he had also heard reports and was waiting for confirmation.
