A man was arrested on Friday for firing his gun two times into the air during a live television broadcast at the Cannes film festival, prompting actors Christoph Waltz and Daniel Auteuil to run for cover, Reuters reports:

Police arrested the man at the scene and found he was carrying a dummy grenade and a knife, authorities said.

“It really appears to be a crazy guy,” said a police source.

After the man was taken away, the show’s producers told the crowd the program would continue: “The show must go on.”
