Reporter in Egypt records his own death Original Video

"Photojournalist Ahmad Samir Assem was killed by the army sniper fire whilst covering the massacre at the Egyptian Republican Guards compound. The last image Ahmad captured was the face and rifle of his killer. (LL) " "He fires more than once and then, suddenly, turns the rifle and points toward the camera lens. The film ends -- and so too ended the life of Ahmed Samir Assem. The 26-year-old photographer for Egypt's Al-Horia Wa Al-Adala newspaper was among a least 51 people killed after security forces opened fire on a large crowd that had camped outside the Egyptian army's Republican Guard officers' club in Cairo, where Mohammed Morsi, the deposed president, was believed to be in detention. Mr Assem had been on the scene as the pro-Muslim Brotherhood protesters knelt for prayer shortly before dawn on Monday morning. According to friends and relatives, the moment of his own death was captured as the grainy film culminates."
