Three Norwegian tourists came under fire and one was shot after the satellite navigation system in their car guided them straight into one of Rio de Janeiro’s most dangerous slums.

They were on the way to the airport, and apparently, the Sat Nav told them to go into one of the worst slums in Rio. One of them was shot in the shoulder.
