Hi!
I think, Boris, that snapshot refers to the state of mind of the

Impulse as in situations that arise so quickly that you don't have
time to think if you want to capture it. However, I think it's more
common to think of it as

the right place when real shooting came on suddenly.
Yes, I'd say it was a snapshot.
Due to the extremely tragic timing it became a famous one.
