The New York Times is reporting:
Russia's ambassador to Turkey was assassinated at an Ankara art exhibit on Monday evening by a lone Turkish gunman shouting "God is great!" and "don't forget Aleppo, don't forget Syria!" in what Russia called a terrorist attack.
The gunman, who was described by Ankara's mayor as a policeman, also wounded at least three others in the assault, which was captured on Turkish video. Turkish officials said he was killed by other officers in a shootout.
"The attack comes at a bad time: Moscow and Ankara have only recently restored diplomatic ties after Turkey downed a Russian aircraft in November 2015," the Stratfor think-tank said.
"Though the attack will strain relations between the two countries, it is not likely to rupture them altogether."
[...] Tensions have escalated in recent weeks as Russian-backed Syrian forces have fought for control of the eastern part of Aleppo, triggering a stream of refugees.

The same reason they always catch the second kid who throws a punch on the playground. You hear the sound of the first thing, then start looking/filming.
The Zapruder film shows the actual shooting because he happened to be filming already.
Plus, y'know, not everybody (e.g. me) wants to see the gore. Maybe somebody has footage and it's just not being aired?
"Is that really true?" "I just spent the last hour telling you to think for yourself! Didn't you hear anything I said?"
