The chopper was reportedly a police helicopter

A helicopter has apparently 'attacked' Venezuela's Supreme Court. President Nicholas Maduro said two grenades had been dropped in the strike, which he called a terrorist attack. Videos posted on social media -- reportedly of the incident, but unverified -- show a helicopter in the air over what looks like Caracas. Loud bangs and what sounds like gunfire can be heard in the videos.
