[quote]CANNES, France (Reuters) - A man was arrested at the Cannes film festival on Friday after firing a starting pistol during a live TV broadcast on the palm-lined waterfront, sending actors Christoph Waltz and Daniel Auteuil running for cover.
French TV station Canal+ was interviewing Austria's Oscar-winning Waltz and French actor Auteuil live on its nightly news show from a beach-front set before a crowd of spectators when a man fired two shots into the air.[/quote]

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

Are the gunshots actually in this video? I didn't hear any, people just randomly started running on the stage

It looks like the stage was a ways away from the gunshot, people just saw everyone running and did the same.

At 0:26 I think you can hear the faint report of a gun.

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.

Wasn't even a real gun, it was only firing blanks.
The grenade was a dummy, as well.

i think it's the way the microphones are set up
that's a pretty sensationalist headline

The pistol had a silencer on it.
Being french, everyone fled immediately.

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)

Guess we're smarter than the Americans there, yours just stand still and get shot.
