As significant as the photo is, I can't see it being Pulitzer worthy. It's pure luck that he captured the bullet.

It’s pure luck that
-he was in the exact right position
-with the exact right camera
-at the exact right time
-despite being in a live shooter situation took a nation changing picture without flinching

Seems almost like he did what every other iconic photographer did?

Deserved the prize. It has quickly become an iconic picture.

To photograph high-speed ballistics, you'll need a high-speed camera capable of capturing at least 10,000 frames per second (fps) and often much higher. The cost of such a camera can range from a few thousand dollars for a consumer-grade high-speed camera to well over $100,000 for a professional-grade model.

Camera Requirements:
High Frame Rate:
A high frame rate is crucial to capture the fast-moving projectile and associated events. For ballistics, frame rates of 10,000 fps and higher are often needed, depending on the projectile's velocity and the details you need to capture.

It's interesting that a photographer with the high end camera was available that day to capture that pic.......coincidence.

Breaking News!! Photographer has high end camera.

It’s a blurry streak, not a crystal clear frame by frame image of the bullet.
