I am not sure if this is the photo you are referring to, but it sounds like it. The man with the gun is the Chief of the South Vietnamese National Police, named Nguyen Ngoc Loan. The man he executed was a Viet Cong prisoner. The photo was taken in early 1968 and was one of the most famous photos of the Vietnam war. It had a significant impact on public opinion on the war in the United States.
