The photographer committed suicide due to the global misconception of this photo. The man shot was a war criminal, not a civilian.

I still remember this scene, was 10 years old by than. And I couldn’t understand! It haunted me all my life and is still a terrible memory about what people have to experience during wartime!

The word 'execute' often devoid of its context (executing a lawful death sentence) somehow sanitizes captions like this. Police chief Nguyen shot Viet Cong Nguyen to death that day. You might even say he *murdered* him. Words absolve and in so doing make us complicit.
