There's been a lot of news coming out the voice acting community but this takes the cake. Reuben Langdon, the voice of Dante from the Devil May Cry, survived an attempted car robbery that almost turned fatal.
While in Guatemala City, Reuben Langdon and his partner, Steve Copeland, were in their car when an armed man attempted to enter the vehicle from the passenger side. The two men panicked and sped off. As they fled, the would-be car jacker fired at the car six times.
After the indecent, Langdon and Copeland pulled over to assess the damage to their vehicle. In the video recorded by Copeland, both men are shaken as they find multiple bullet holes in their car, two of which almost hit Reuben. Reuben was also concerned for his bag and his personal belongings in the back seat.

On Twitter, Langdon found the fragment of a bullet and joked about his near-death experience.
Langdon was touring Guatemala filming a documentary about Mayan culture called Vision of the Ages, a sequel to Steve Copelands documentary Shift of the Ages.
Guatemala has a very high crime rate and the U.S Department of State Travel Advisory has assessed the country as a level 3: reconsider traveling. According to the OSAC 2018 Crime and Safety Report, car robberies are a frequent occurrence in Guatemala.
The capitol city, Guatemala City, has a serious issue with armed car robberies and American tourists have reported car robberies happening frequently at night, although daytime robberies are not unheard of.
Langdon and Copeland are fortunate to have gotten away with the damage to their car and nothing else.
