Picture of the Year International. First Place Barbara Davidson The Los Angeles Times On the sidewalk in front of his house , 4-year-old Josue Hercules, a little, dimpled boy with a mighty man's name, was playing with his older sister, Katherine. Down the street, 46-year-old James Landrum, who had a history of gang activity and criminal convictions, was arguing with a group of adults. He pulled a gun and opened fire. The kids ran at the sound, but one of the bullets hit Josue in the back of the head, skirted his skull and lodged near his right eye. His 7-year-old sister carried Josue to the house. Their mother, Wendoly Andrade, rushed Josue to the hospital because the ambulance took too long. Josue Hercules' cousins visit the spot in Long Beach where Josue was shot. Balazs Gardi.
