Re: light speed and death

Unfortunately you did not completely re-state your question,
and since we see literally dozens of questions each day and
do not track intermediate correspondence, we do not have
a copy of  your original question.  Please provide all the
detail of the original.

I am aware that questions which may seem to be similar to mine have been 
answered before.
for example a speed of light spacecraft turns on its headlights, what
happens to the light. and the answer is that it changes depending on
where the observer is.
I hope the answer to my question will have a definite answer, i.e. a
person can only be killed by the spacecraft or the light. surely this
can't be dependant on an observer.
Thanks

Hi,
a guy is flying a spacecraft at the speed of light directly towards me.
He then fires a laser gun at me (speed of light).

thanks for your time
