The director of an Angolan crime film says police have shot dead two of his actors after mistaking them for real armed robbers.
The actors were carrying unloaded firearms as they filmed a scene in a rough suburb of the capital Luanda.
The director, Radical Ribeiro, says police drove up to the set and began shooting at everybody at close range.
He says he was stunned when he saw the two actors fall down.
The officers only stopped firing after being told it was a movie.
They left without attending to the wounded, who were taken to hospital.
