Robert Croft took this up-close picture of the President and First Lady after the limousine had made its fatal turn onto Elm Street. Jackie Kennedy, probably to the photographer’s immense delight, happened to be looking directly at Mr. Croft when he clicked the shutter on his camera.
This photo was snapped by Croft at the equivalent of approximately Frame #161 of Abraham Zapruder’s home movie, which was almost exactly the same time that Lee Harvey Oswald fired the first of his three gunshots from the Texas School Book Depository Building (the first of which missed the car and its occupants completely).
