Indianapolis Indiana 1978, Richard O Hall held hostage by Anthony Kiritsis. Winning John Blair the 1978 Pulitzer Prize for spot news. Kiritsis held a speech in front of live TV cameras. His speech became so emotional that some journalists thought he would shoot Hall, so they terminated the live broadcast. Eventually, however, Kiritsis released Hall. To prove the gun had been loaded, he shot a bullet in the air. He was immediately arrested. In my opinion, it took a lot of courage for John to get himself in position and remain composed in order to shoot this great picture.
