Dang how could he have just walked up on them and stood tjere and they didn’t notice?

Having been in those situations, I can understand. When you are in an interview situation, particularly a live interview that you know is being broadcast, you become extremely focused and oblivious to what is going on around you.

- The person being interviewed is focused on the interviewer.
- The person doing the interview is focused on the interviewee.
- The cameraman is focused on both and praying that he doesn't screw it up.

It would be very easy for somebody to walk around them and stand in that particular position (out of their line of sight) for a period of time without being noticed. Even with a gun drawn.

BTW, that first POV video completely creeped me out and I'm not easily spooked.

Well said, and I would add, that the camera had a bright light on top as well so when he panned around you'd naturally look at the interviewee instead of at the light anyway.

Adding to what SamAdams said, reporters get so much of people walking up while they’re doing live interviews, that they consciously try to ignore them and get even MORE focused on the interviewee.
