Military police in Brazil are carrying out a manhunt in several of Rio's slums to find the men who shot down a police helicopter.

Saturday's attack on the helicopter caused the deaths of three police officers.

The incident has also sparked concerns about the city's ability to safely host the 2016 Olympics.
