Video of Iraqi Killings

Did anyone else see the graphic US military video showing the killing of three Iraqi people that appeared on ABC News?

The one-minute file, filmed from a US Apache helicopter, shows three
apparently unarmed people being shot with 300mm cannon fire.

Video download (WARNING: some viewers may find this material disturbing):

I'm not trying to second guess soldiers in the field; I am not a military person. The soldiers claim one of the three Iraqis had a weapon. I do have a question about killing the wounded man. Don't rules of engagement, or Geneva Conventions dictate some other course for wounded combatants? I found this footage very disturbing.
