not to get off topic or take away any reverence to the event - but I was just looking at the famous photo taken that day and it amazes me that someone a) was right there with a camera b) had their wits about them enough to take a photo and c) have it captured the raw emotion of that moment.

If it were me holding the camera in that spot on that day I would be running/ ducking/ screaming like nuts and if I DID think to snap anything it would be such a horrendous blur...I get excited and jumpy taking pics at a Stevie concert let alone a fresh murder scene.

Also, Is it a little disturbing to anyone that this person's knee-jerk reaction is to snap a pic and not to go try and help a shooting victom???
