A reporter arrived first at the scene of an alleged shooting in Aracaju, Brazil and began his questioning by talking to police, reports Daily Mirror.

He then quickly turned to the alleged criminals, two of them lying face down on the ground with their hands cuffed.

The reporter asks them a few questions, to which one man gives a few mumbled replies.

He then moves on to question a third suspect, who is lying by the wheel of a car, dressed in blue.

Holding the microphone to the man's mouth, the journalist waits for a reply from the man, before suddenly realising that the body on the ground appears to be dead.

He then quickly stands up, saying: "This one is hurt. Amazingly I was going to interview a guy who is already dead."

It is thought that the three men had attempted to rob a grocery shop in the area, before shots were exchanged between the suspects and the police, according to The UOL.

Police confirmed a man died at the scene.
