From news.com.au:

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.
 
That is an unfortunate incident. For those that have visited is Rio as bad all the publicity it receives?
 
I thought Rio was great, we just did all the normal tourist stuff and didn't have any problems.
