LONDON/SINGAPORE (Reuters) - The policeman raises his pistol in a melee of protesters, the gun barrel flashes and a young man falls onto his back clutching his chest – 60 seconds of video caught on camera at the height of pro-democracy protests in Hong Kong.
Far from the scene, Reuters journalists in London and Singapore watched the shooting, which was captured by three amateur camera operators. The Reuters teams were looking for any detail - perhaps a shop or street sign in the background - that could help establish the authenticity of the footage, and that it was filmed when and where the operator said it was.
