Hello, Leadsinger!

Is the cop the kid's parent? Were all three people alive when this happened? Does the doctor shoot the kid with a puff of air?

Is the doctor human? Adult? Female? Enby? Gender relevant?

I can't shake the idea that "agitated doctor" might be a cryptic crossword-style clue. Does "agitated doctor" mean that we have to make an anagram out of the word "doctor", or out of a word for doctor?

Assuming no to the above, is a fictional doctor relevant? Doctor Who? Someone with a PhD but who isn't a medical doctor? Someone who's called a doctor but isn't one at all? Doc Holliday?

When all this happens, is the kid alive? Is the doctor alive? Is the cop alive? Are there any other relevant people involved?

Was the cop there as part of their work? Is there a crime involved?

Shoots with a camera? Water gun? Toy gun? Rubber band? Slingshot? Shoots the kid with a look?

Is the child human? alive? real?
Is the cop human? alive? real?
Is this a real-world scenario? fictional?
Is the doctor a machine? a robot? a picture? a toy?
"agitated" as in "pushed/shaked/stirred up"? as in "set in motion/set in action"?
Taking a picture with self-timer relevant?
