Chris Hondros, a New York-based photographer for Getty Images, was killed by a rocket-propelled grenade in Misrata, Libya today. Hondros, 41, has covered conflict zones since the late 1990s including Kosovo, Iraq and Afghanistan, and his work has appeared in major magazines and newspapers around the world. His awards include World Press Photo honors and the Robert Capa Gold Medal, one of the highest prizes in war photography.
It was reported on April 20, 2011, that Hondros had been gravely wounded in an RPG attack by government forces in Misrata while covering the 2011 Libyan uprising. Photojournalist Tim Hetherington was killed in the attack, which wounded two other photographers. According to The New York Times, Hondros died from his injuries as a result of severe brain trauma.
