I thought this was going to be word play on camera "shots" from the paparazzi. I'm glad he didn't hurt anyone.

Wait, a starting pistol? Was this supposed to be a prank?

[QUOTE=Scot;40682770][video=youtube;-8QbjWzWFW0]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-8QbjWzWFW0[/video][/QUOTE] Thank god nothing happened.. Don't know what I could do without my Christoph Waltz.
[QUOTE=Scot;40682770][video=youtube;-8QbjWzWFW0]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-8QbjWzWFW0[/video][/QUOTE] Good god, Christoph Waltz always has that huge smile on his face even when gunshots are going off. Damn he is so cool.
Nevermind my post, it really was a man who fired 2 warning shots and was stopped by cops as he was about to shoot himself in the head. Some heard the police scream "grenade" before they wrestled him down.

The grenade was a dummy, as well.
[QUOTE=ZenX2;40683171]Are the gunshots actually in this video? I didn't hear any, people just randomly started running on the stage[/QUOTE] i think it's the way the microphones are set up
that's a pretty sensationalist headline
[QUOTE=ZenX2;40683171]Are the gunshots actually in this video? I didn't hear any, people just randomly started running on the stage[/QUOTE] The pistol had a silencer on it.
Being french, everyone fled immediately.
[QUOTE=ChestyMcGee;40686821]i think it's the way the microphones are set up[/QUOTE] Then why can you hear the crowd screaming? Must have been further away.
I live there :d the guy was in the crowd at the entrance of the "set" (dunno how to call it)
[QUOTE=Persecution;40687018]Being french, everyone fled immediately.[/QUOTE] Guess we're smarter than the Americans there, yours just stand still and get shot.
[QUOTE=Persecution;40687018]Being french, everyone fled immediately.[/QUOTE] shut the fuck up. completely unnecessary. im glad no one has hurt
[QUOTE=Bliblixe;40687622]Guess we're smarter than the Americans there, yours just stand still and get shot.[/QUOTE] We don't show no fear.
[QUOTE=Fish Muffin;40683251]... I didnt hear anything?[/QUOTE] because the only thing you hear is people voice trought their puffed and disolated microphones. i may be wrong, but thats what i think lol.
