ところ+へ・に・を・で 「部長がお客さんと話をしているところに声をかけて、あとで注意されてしまった。」 「犯人は逃げようとしたところを、警官に撃たれ、重傷を負いました」 「欠伸したところを写真に撮られたって、佐藤さん、怒ってたよ。」 Could you help me understand who did what to whom in these sentences please? I am very confused about the particles, especially the ones used after 「ところ」. Thanks as always!

They are complicated because some subjects are removed in these sentences. 1.I was scolded because I spoke to General Manager when he(GM) was talking with the customer. 2. The criminal got serious injuries because the policeman shot him (criminal) when he (criminal) ran away. 3. Sato-san got angry because he (Sato-san) was taken photo when he (Sato-san) yawned.

「ところ」indicates the moment of an action in these cases.
