Picture, Then Tackle

Awesome.

LEWISTON, Maine (AP) — A newspaper photographer captured dramatic images of a fugitive jumping from a third-floor balcony — then captured the fugitive.

Sun Journal photographer Russ Dillingham was praised by police for tackling Norman Thompson and holding him down until officers arrived. Afterward Dillingham grabbed his camera and took more photos of Thompson being handcuffed.

"I always kind of wondered what I’d do in a situation like that," said Dillingham, a 25-year veteran of news photography. "But you don’t even think about it. You just react."

Visit the link for the pictures Dillingham took before and after tackling the suspect. What a great story.

Must be the first time in history that one of those guys did the right thing.

Good on him.
