  2. Lack of experience of the cameraman? Not judging the poor man, but they can't make people like him cover these type of scenes. Imagine policemen or soldiers having heart attackts during shootouts? That's why they train and they are used to the sound of gunfire. Reporters and cameramen need at least some type of training.

    2. It's called a standoff .. Like the ones that happen here in usa that take hours to end and one dies. You picture it as a straight gun battle, those days are gone , hardly do they have convoys getting in full gun battles with military , so many bad past experiences they get torn to pieces. So it's 5 of em and they know they can't take them the run into buildings and holdout sometimes take hostages
