'If he sees me, he's going to shoot me': Dallas photographer Tom Fox recounts his story of survival
https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2019/06/17/dallas-shooting-photographer-tom-fox-speaks-encounter-gunman/1484795001/
When a masked gunman opened fire at a federal courthouse in Dallas on Monday, longtime Dallas Morning News photographer Tom Fox was already on the scene.
Fox, who was there to get a photo of a defendant in a charter school fraud case, according to the newspaper, captured a photo of the gunman and then immediately hid himself in front of the building. He told USA TODAY he acted on instinct.
“I just kept thinking, 'He's going to look at me around that corner and he's going to shoot,'" Fox told the Morning News, where he's been an employee for 29 years.
Fox added that he thought he “was gone.”
