The Attica Prison riot began 47 years ago today on Sept. 9, 1971. Reporter Bob Stokes and Photographer John Shearer helped cover the tragedy for LIFE. Stokes wrote the Editors note for the issue featuring the story. Included in the note: “When Shearer and I got to the prison about 5 a.m., the scene was threatening. Hundreds of state troopers wearing gas masks and gold riot helmets milled around the front gate, illuminated by searchlight. Sniper squads of sheriffs and prison guards cradled deer riles with telescopic sights. It looked as if hunting season had opened early in Wyoming County. I felt there was an inevitability to it all. The guards and troopers, frustrated and angered by the days of waiting, seemed to want to shoot their way in.” 43 lives were lost in the riot. This iconic image by the great photographer John Shearer was featured in the issue.
