This is one of the most infamous images of the 20th Century. This original wire photo shows politcally connected Jack Ruby shooting Lee Harvey Oswald (while in custody), two days after he was accused of assassinating President Kennedy. Oswald was a drifter with a murky past; he had been dishonorably discharged from the U.S. Marines and then defected to Russia in 1959, only to be refused citizenship there and sent back to the United States. Photo is EX-MT and a classic image that is timeless.
