Live streams are a really great thing. Thanks to the technical revolution with smartphones, tablets and google glasses, theres always a camera around. Everything is recorded - football fans cheering at the public viewing, someone is celebrating a great birthday or a friend simply observing a beautiful sunset.
But the live art also has its dark side - when it transmits death and crime ...

An afternoon in the US city of Norfolk (Virginia): Three men (27, 27, 29 years old) sitting in a car, smoking, bobing their heads to the music and talk. They recording the scene with a mobile phone and streaming it live on Facebook.

The relaxed gathering is converting into a horror scenario: 30 gunshots in 22 seconds.
All 3 men got hit by the bullets, the guy who is recording the scene, collapses on the seat and the phone falling out of his hand - still streamed in real time to facebook.
Silence - nothing to hear for a full minute. Then finally some passengers arriving at the car. "We need an ambulance!" one of them is shouting.
The injured men was hospitalized, one of them is still in critical condition.
