An elderly man was shot in the stomach while filming an alleged robbery taking place at his neighbour's house in Eden Glen, Edenvale. 

CCTV footage from inside the house shows two suspects entering the premises. At the same time, the 70-year-old victim is filming the men from his car across the road. 

In the video, the man can be seen calmly offering his phone to the suspects, then their raised voices are broken by the sound of a gunshot. 

The injured man was flown to a hospital. 

Two cases, one of attempted murder and another of residential burglary, have been opened with Edenvale police.
