Santa shot at in Rio

Take the drug traffickers in Rio de Janeiro who opened fire on Santa's helicopter last week as he was being flown to a Christmas party in one of the city's major slums.

Gang members apparently mistook Santa's chopper for a police helicopter and pumped two bullets into the fuselage, forcing it to make an emergency landing.

No one was hurt and Santa did manage to hand out presents to 1,000 people in the Baixa do Sapaterio neighbourhood after someone gave him a lift in a car.
