I drove over and took about ten pictures from a discrete distance. (I didn't want to be an aggressive photographer) Feeling it was newsworthy, I went downtown to the newspaper office and explained what I had shot. They took my exposed film and told me they would develop it. I knew people there, since I had been a member of the Wisconsin News Photographers Association since 1972. The next day I opened the paper to find my photo on page three. This is the frame that they picked. All three victims are visible.
