Image of Bob Huffaker interviewing Lt. Richard E. Swain where Oswald was shot

Jack Beers was the only photographer who reported being present when the photograph was taken, but there could have been another photographer who was present and did not write about the event in their record. - Stephanie Allen-GIvens, Collections and Exhibits Manager

In this photo taken shortly after the shooting of Lee Harvey Oswald, KRLD-TV reporter Bob Huffaker is seen interviewing Lt. Richard E. Swain of the Burglary and Theft Bureau of the Dallas Police Department. In a 2009 education program at the Museum, Bob Huffaker, who was broadcasting at the time of the Oswald shooting, recalled that Lt. Swain had "threatened to knock anyone down who came anywhere near [after the shooting]. I remember looking up, and I think it might've been Dick [Swain], now that I think back, who knocked me off my feet immediately after the shot.... You didn't hear me hit or anything like that, but I was being pummeled and eventually people were...stepping on my mic cord and I was following the mic down and trying to get back up again." -- Stephen Fagin, Curator
