Cameramen hurt in movie's fight scene

KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia (AP): Two cameramen were seriously
wounded yesterday while filming a gunbattle scene for a Malaysian
movie.

Police said they were investigating why live ammunition was
used in the scene instead of blanks, the national news agency
Bernama reported.

State criminal investigation chief Johar Che Din said no
arrests have been made, and investigations were continuing.

Police said assistant cameraman Hazizan Sahak, 35, was taken
to the National Heart Institute with chest wounds, but was
reported out of danger.

Cameraman Omar Ismail, 40, was in stable condition with rib
injuries, the Kuala Lumpur Hospital said.

They were filming the scene at Ulu Yam, a holiday resort near
Kuala Lumpur, for the movie "Detik-detik Metropolitan," or
Metropolitan Moments.
