Rio organising committee has confirmed this accident and a special investigation force including the federal police was formed to review it.

Around 12 people were in the bus when this accident occurred. Two of them suffered minor injuries. A journalist from Belarus suffered small cuts on the hand. A volunteer got injured on his arm.

Although police said it was stones hitting the window, passengers on the bus suspected it was small-calibre bullet.

After the incident, all the buses leaving from Deodoro were escorted by the military.
