It was his final shot -- and it will help capture the assassin who gunned him down.

A Filipino politician taking a photo of family members celebrating the New Year also captured a clear image of the killer who was about to pump a .45-caliber slug through his heart.



Reynaldo Dagsa, 38, a local councilman, was gunned down minutes after midnight outside his home in Caloocan City, a suburb north of Manila, by a car thief he'd once ordered locked up, police say.

That is crazy and creepy.

Absolutely chilling. I wonder what the woman on the right is looking at, if not him? He doesn't even realize he's photographing his killer, how very tragic.

 

[Recovering-Lurker]

Whoa! Crazy!

This must have been so horrible for his family. Imagine posing for family with photo with loved ones arms around you, everyone is smiling and having a good time. You're all looking straight at the camera which happens to be held by another family member, and then bam!, he's shot dead right in front of your eyes. His poor little girl. She'll have nightmares for the rest of her life.

The only good thing about this story is that besides being ruthless and brutal, the killer is also stupid.
