RIO DE JANEIRO -- The bullet which flew through the roof of a media tent at the Olympic Equestrian Center on Saturday was just an unfortunate incident, Brazilian military and police said.There was a scare during the lunch break at the eventing dressage on the first day of the games as a military-looking bullet pierced the roof of the tent and landed on the floor. The competition was not disrupted and nobody was hurt.Authorities are investigating: the type of bullet, the distance, where it comes from, why it comes here, organizing committee spokesman Mario Andrada said.The first information that we got is that they can clearly determine this area was not the target, it was a stray bullet. They can confirm it has nothing to do with the games but they cannot be more precise at the moment.The bullet landed close to one of the media tables at the end of the room where news conferences are held, leaving a clear hole in the roof.Obviously this is a worrying situation and is not an incident we can take lightly as the safety of everyone at our venue -- athletes, horses, media and spectators -- is of prime importance, FEI president Ingmar De Vos said in a statement.The Rio 2016 organizing committee have told us that the three authorities involved in security in Brazil, the military, civil police and national guard, have stated categorically that our venue was not the target, and that this incident has nothing to do with the games.Andrada refused to speculate on where the bullet could have been fired from but said the entire competition venue is situated on military land.As soon as we have information we will disclose that, especially where it comes from, why it got here and what kind of bullet it was, Andrada added. In the meantime, all the authorities have assured us that they have reinforced security around this area.More than one source in the different security areas have emphasized that they have 100 percent assurance that it has nothing to do with the games and with the presence of the Olympic family and the press in this area.The incident came shortly after bomb-disposal experts blew up an unattended bag near the finish line of the mens road cycling race.We have to react to a global worry, Andrada said. Were not living in an easy moment so the authorities opted for the safe side. In a way its good that they opt for the safe side, independently to the fact that this generates tension on the communication front. Wed rather have the security in perfect shape than the communications.I understand it was a backpack that someone forgot.In the arena, William Fox-Pitt leads after the first day of the eventing competition, just 10 months after being put into an induced coma following a fall.Fox-Pitt, who only returned to competitive action in early April, rode Chilli Morning to a score of 37.Christopher Burton of Australia and Santano II are second, 0.6 penalties behind the Briton, with reigning Olympic individual champion Michael Jung third with 40.9 aboard Sam FBW.Germany, which is bidding for a third straight Olympic title, leads the team competition, with Australia second and Britain third.

DJ Moore Womens Jersey . -- Whether Jeremy Hill deserves a prominent role in LSUs offence this early in the season is a matter for debate. SANTA CLARA, Calif. -- The New Orleans Saints started the season by losing three straight games, only to play themselves right back into contention behind improved play and Drew Brees big arm.Brees and Co. won their first game before the bye week, then two out of the next three to climb into the NFC South race.For the San Francisco 49ers (1-6), it is likely too late to salvage Chip Kellys first season as coach.The Saints (3-4) should feel pretty confident about their chances coming to the Bay Area this weekend to face the lowly Niners after their week off.I just feel like were building something here, and different than the last few years, Brees said, referring specifically to the previous two seasons, when the Saints started 1/3 or worse, rallied back to 4-4, but stumbled to 7-9 finishes. I feel like weve got some pieces in place now that are here for the longer term and weve got a great opportunity.Last weekend, Brees and his balanced offense wore down the Seahawks typically stellar defense.Flustering Brees will be tough for a defense ranked worst in the league against the run that is a far cry from the dominant unit it was. Brees has thrown for 465, 367 and 265 yards in his last three games, but those numbers were down in the 25-20 win against Seattle considering the Saints ran the ball as many times as they threw it for a change.Just tackle him, said 49ers linebacker Ahmad Brooks, who has 4+ sacks, two interceptions and two forced fumbles in four games against the Saints.The Saints havent played at San Francisco since losing 36-32 in the divisional playoffs after the 2011 season .Here are some things to watch for Sunday when New Orleans play for the first time at Levis Stadium:BREES CHASE: Brees has a pair of four-touchdown performances this season and has thrown for 18 TDs total to give him 446 in his career. Now, he needs only four more -- might he do it against the Niners D? -- to become the third player to pass for 450 touchdowns. Peyton Manning with 539 and Hall of Famer Brett Favre at 508 are the others.It might depend on the running game. Tim Hightower gained 102 yards on the ground against the Seahawks to become the Saints first 100-yard rusher of the year after taking over for the benched Mark Ingram.He did everything we asked him to do in that game. It was interesting, Brees said. Youree executing the offense, you dont really know until you look at the stat sheet at the end of the game to see how many times we ran the ball, threw the ball, and we were dead even, 50-50.dddddddddddd We had 35 runs, 35 passes. It was very efficient.HEY, ROOKIE!: Saints coach Sean Payton made a surprise move just days before the regular-season opener when he cut veteran kicker Kai Forbath and signed Wil Lutz, a rookie out of Georgia State who had spent training camp with Baltimore. During New Orleans victory over Seattle, Lutz made Payton look good. He hit four field goals and was chosen NFC special teams player of the week for the second time this season.KAEPERNICKS THIRD START: Colin Kaepernick has made his mark off the field . On it, he has gone two straight games with a completion percentage below 50 percent. He went 16 of 34 and threw for only 143 yards in a loss to Tampa Bay.Yet hes had memorable games against New Orleans.One of the things that weve always said playing the Saints is youre going to have to put up points, Kaepernick said. Were going to have to be able to match up.IMPROVED D: After allowing more than 400 yards in each of its first three games, New Orleans much-maligned defense has demonstrated moderate improvement the past month under coordinator and former Oakland Raiders coach Dennis Allen. The Saints have allowed fewer than 400 yards in three of their past four games, moving up in the NFL rankings from 31st to 28th. And theyve done so without top cornerback Delvin Breaux and defensive tackle Sheldon Rankins, both of whom appeared close to returning from broken legs this week.STAYING PUT: Veteran left tackle Joe Staley and wideout Torrey Smith each were considered trade options for San Francisco, but they stayed put as the deadline passed Tuesday.While those two will be on the field, 49ers running back Carlos Hydes status was still uncertain. He returned to practice in a limited capacity during the week after missing the Oct. 23 loss to Tampa Bay because of a shoulder injury.---AP Sports Writer Brett Martel in New Orleans contributed to this report.---AP NFL website: http://www.pro32.ap.org and AP NFL coverage on Twitter: http://www.twitter.com/AP-NFL ' ' '
