Police Shoot at Actor Playing a Bank Robber

Date:

Police in Indiana fired a gunshot at a man who they allegedly believed they thought was a thief.

According to Fox 8 Cleveland, police officers shot at a man they believed was a robber but was in actuality an actor playing one.

The incident occurred after Indiana State Police responded to the scene at Backstep Brewing Co. in Crawfordsville, Indiana when actor Jim Duff exited the building, wearing a ski mask and holding a gun, police thought he was a suspect they were reportedly looking for.

Duff was facing away from the officers when they ordered him to drop his weapon. When he turned around to face them, one officer fired his gun, according to Fox 8 Cleveland.

The officer’s shot missed and no one was hurt. Duff reportedly then pulled off his ski mask, dropped his gun and proceeded to tell officers he was only an actor and they were on a movie set.

Apparently, the brewery and the production company allegedly did not notify anyone that a movie was being filmed at that location.
