Aims, shoots, gets caught
A Philippine politician caught his killer on camera just moments before he was shot dead, with the photograph leading to the arrest of the gunman, said police on Tuesday.
The photograph, taken by district councillor Reynaldo Dagsa and reprinted on the front page of a major newspaper, shows his family posing for the photo while the gunman is in the background aiming a pistol at his victim.
“While he was taking the picture of his family on New Year's eve, the killer appeared and he inadvertently took the picture of the killer with the gun aimed at him,” said local police chief Jude Santos.
Mr. Dagsa, a councillor in a Manila suburb, was shot moments after the picture was taken and died on the way to the hospital, according to Mr. Santos, who is investigating the case.
The family gave the photograph to the police, leading to the arrest on Monday of the gunman as well as a suspected accomplice who was also seen lurking in the background of the picture, Mr. Santos told AFP.
The motive is not clear, said the police chief.

A photo shoot, no a shoot photo.
@mj, you know how a lot of people back home celebrates new year. even if the gunman is beside you, you will not notice the sound of a gun firing.
but he was standing right behind them, it's not like he was miles away.. but anyway, hope justice will be served.
@MJ, the shot was taken during a new year celebration, there was a lot of fireworks that time. so the family didn't noticed it
I think brit had taken up 2 parking spaces in his pink Kia!
how did he manage to get that close without them noticing it?
