Bus full of Chinese basketball reporters caught in roadside gunfight on the way to Olympic Village in Rio

The 2016 Summer Olympics are scheduled to begin today, but for some it has already began with a bang. Upon their arrival in Rio, a bus full of Chinese basketball reporters was caught in a roadside gunfight. Six locals were killed in the exchange, but no Chinese casualties have been reported. Initially, the Chinese-language Basketball Magazine posted on Weibo that Chinese national basketball team players had been caught near the flurry of bullets, where they would have presumably suffered from flashbacks to their two exhibition matches against Team USA last month.
