Dallas Times Herald photographer Robert Jackson is riding through the streets of Dallas in President John F. Kennedy's motorcade. "I'd only been at the paper three years, so I was pretty new at it a...ll, " remembers Jackson. "It was really exciting time." The crowd is cheering, flags are flying, Jackson is snapping photographs, he stops to change film. In that instant, the world changes. Jackson hears a shot. then another, and another. Bedlam erupts. " The scene was confusion, people running, covering up their kids, " says Jackson. "I knew somebody was shooting at the president." Looking up at the Texas School Book Depository, Jackson sees a rifle at a window. But he has no film in his camera, less than an hour later, the president is dead. Throughout the weekend, Jackson pursues the story. On Sunday, he shows up at the Dallas Police headquarters to photograph suspect Lee Harvey Oswald being transferred to the county jail. "I walked right in. There was no security to speak of. Nobody checked my press pass." In the basement garage. Jackson picks his spot. "I Pre-focused on about 10 feet where I knew that I would be able to get a clean shot. They said. 'Here he comes' and they brought him out." Jackson raises his camera.
