Indiana Cop Mistakenly Shoot At Actor During Movie Scene

Police officers in Indiana mistakenly took an actor on a movie set for a real robbery suspect. Indiana State Police were called to the Back Step Brewing Company in Crawfordsville on Tuesday evening for a possible robbery in progress call after someone called 911 to report seeing a masked man with a gun enter the back of the building. When officers arrived from the Crawfordsville Police Department, they saw a masked man coming out of the door at the eatery with what appeared to be a gun and ordered him to drop it. Officers fired at the man, later identified as Jeff Duff, striking the building nearby and not hitting him. Duff then dropped the gun and took off his mask before telling officers that he was filming for a movie. 'The bullet went by his head. It was very close,' Phillip Demoret, an actor said. 'I don't want to think about it. If it had hit him, we'd be having a whole different conversation. Thank goodness he wasn't.' ISP Sgt. Kim Riley told the television station: 'When the police said drop the gun he turns toward police pointing the gun if you don't know it is a movie scene how are you supposed to react.
