Photo of the Week

Talk about capturing the moment - this iconic shot features the infamous murder of Lee Harvey Oswald by Jack Ruby, while he was being taken into custody. Oswald was believed to have been responsible for assassination of U.S. President John F. Kennedy in 1963, with this photo being taken just two days after the police arrested him. The photographer, Robert H. Jackson of the Dallas-Times Herald, received the 1964 Pulitzer Prize for the photograph.
