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.
