Top 100 Photos: John Paul Filo

I choose this photo because it shows so much emotion in the girl who is on her knees and the others that are around. I think that the photo makes you feel as if you were there walking past this happening. The person on the floor caught my eye as well as the girl on the ground, which lead me to think that the person was dead or very hurt. 

The paragraph behind the photo explains that this was shooting at Kent State University in Ohio, and lasted about 15 seconds. 4 people ended dead, nine wounded, and a campus that was distraught. The girl, Mary Vecchio was crying about the wounded, Jeffery Miller, on the floor.
