DescriptionBlack and white photographic print by Dallas Morning News photographer Jack Beers. The image shows the view from the sniper's perch window on the sixth floor of the Texas School Book Depository building looking west toward Dealey Plaza, taken after 3:00pm on November 22, 1963 in Dallas, Texas. The window is open, and the bottom of the frame and the glass panes appear at the top of the image. A portion of the frame's side is also visible on the right side while at the bottom of the image is a blurry corner of a box. Looking out the window, three police vehicles are parked on the sidewalk next to Elm Street. Multiple cars can be seen driving on Main Street, and the triple underpass is also visible.
