John Paul Filo (/ˈfaɪloʊ/; born August 21, 1948) is an American photographer[2][3][4][5] whose picture of 14-year-old runaway Mary Ann Vecchio screaming while kneeling over the dead body of 20-year-old Jeffrey Miller, one of the victims of the Kent State shootings, won him the Pulitzer Prize in 1971. At the time, Filo was both a photojournalism student at Kent State University, and staffer of the Valley Daily News, which became the Valley News Dispatch and is now a satellite paper for the Greensburg Tribune-Review.
