Robert "Bob" Jackson (born April 8, 1934) is an American photographer. In 1964, Jackson, then working for the Dallas Times Herald, was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for Photography for his image capturing the murder of Lee Harvey Oswald by Jack Ruby.
Two days after the assassination of President Kennedy, Jackson was told to go to the police station to photograph the transfer of Oswald to the county jail. Using his Nikon S3 35mm camera, Jackson photographed the shooting of Oswald by Jack Ruby in the Dallas police station garage. The photo taken immediately as the shot rang out, shows Oswald impacted by the bullet, his mouth has already opened wide in an anguished expression and his manacled hands clutched at his abdomen, while Dallas police detective Jim Leavelle, who was escorting Oswald, reacts.
Sent him 2 photos on 13 Mar and go them back signed on 22 Mar

Re: Robert Jackson Pulitzer Prize winning Photographer.. Ruby shooting Oswald
How did Robert "Bob" Jackson's Pulitzer Prize-winning photograph of Lee Harvey Oswald's murder, captured with his Nikon S3 35mm camera at the Dallas police station garage, impact American journalism and public perception in the aftermath of President Kennedy's assassination, especially in light of today's widespread use of live webcam coverage?
