		</div><p>A Brazilian policeman has died after being shot in the head when he and two other officers working security at the Rio Olympics got lost near a slum and encountered gunfire.</p>
<p>Justice Minister Alexandre de Moraes confirmed the death of Helio Vieira on his official Facebook page early today.</p>
<p>The officers from Brazil&#8217;s national security force were using a GPS device to navigate unfamiliar streets on Wednesday afternoon when they took a wrong turn off a highway leading to Rio&#8217;s international airport.</p>
<p>Their truck was sprayed with bullets, shattering the windows.<br />
Mr Vieira died late last night. The other officers suffered minor injuries.</p>
<p>More than 85,000 security forces have been deployed in Rio for the Olympics, which is double the number of London in 2012.</p>
