"We crossed the first bridge in Irpin. We were going to film all the refugees leaving. We got into a car … Someone offered to take us to the other bridge and we crossed a checkpoint and they started shooting at us," Arredondo said. Arredondo's colleague, Brent Renaud, was hit in the neck and died soon after.
