The shooting as seen in the security mirror. Trivia: An example of using camera angles to safely "shoot" an actor at close range. The image is distorted by the convex mirror, but the actor playing the killer is aiming away from the victim (who is 'squibbed' with blood hits). He is 'shooting' his blanks towards the far end of the counter.
