Actor shot and killed as he filmed a gunfire scene for a hip hop video


Gold Coast actor Johann Ofner has died after being shot in the chest while Australian hip hop group Bliss n Eso filmed a music video at a bar in Eagle Lane in the Brisbane CBD.
Mr Ofner, 28, was shot in what police called a "workplace incident" just before 2:00pm. Detective Inspector Tom Armitt said he died inside the Brooklyn Standard bar, which had been hired as a location for the music video.
"During the filming of that scene, several firearms were used," Detective Inspector Armitt said.
"As a result of the use of those firearms one of the actors has received wounds to the chest and has subsequently died from his injuries.




"At this point in time, Queensland police are conducting a criminal investigation.
"We do not know specifically how those injuries occurred at this point in time and that'll be (the) subject of our investigation."
Group members Bliss, Eso and Izm released a statement on Facebook on Monday night, expressing their sadness over the accident.
