Police shoot dead two actors filming in Angola

Police in Angola shot dead two actors after mistaking them for armed robbers as they filmed a crime drama, the movie's director said today.

Three more actors were wounded after officers opened fire at close range in a crime-ridden suburb of the capital, Luanda, before a crowd of onlookers who had been watched the filming, Radical Ribeiro said.

"We saw the [police] pick-up speeding towards us. It looked empty but then suddenly it stopped and people appeared on the back and without asking any questions they started shooting at everybody at close range," Ribeiro told the AFP news agency.

"I don't know how I escaped, I was just two metres away."

Ribeiro said the actors had been carrying firearms, but the weapons had not been loaded.

"I was stunned when I saw them falling down. They went on shooting until I shouted out: 'Please don't shoot, this is a movie.'"

The director told AFP the police then stopped shooting and sped away.

Ribiero said he had informed the local police about the filming before they began, but said the marksmen appeared to belong to an elite unit.

The police have not yet commented on the incident.

No shit! In LA you gotta tell them 5 times that it's a real robbery before they do anything.

But you will understand the LA mentality after you do like me and lean up against a street light pole and it fuckng falls down because it's a movie prop.

The best part is that they just drove away afterwards and haven't commented on it. Sound like a bunch of standup guys on the police force over there.

Angola is crazy, I've been there. Every restaurant has guards with ak-47s at the doors and no windows (except on the ilha the luanda).

This year Luanda was considered the most expensive city in the world for expats ahead of london, moscow, tokyo, etc.
