Niedringhaus was born in Höxter, North Rhine-Westphalia, and began working as a freelance photographer at age 17 while still in high school.

Niedringhaus was killed at the age of 48 in an attack in Afghanistan, while covering the country's 2014 presidential election.

Fellow AP journalist, Kathy Gannon, a 60-year-old Canadian, was seriously injured in the attack and underwent emergency surgery.

The attack took place at a checkpost on the outskirts of Khost city in Tani District, where the journalists were part of an independent election commission convoy delivering ballots under the protection of the Afghan National Army and Afghan police.

While the two were waiting in the car, an Afghan police unit commander named Naqibullah walked up to their car and opened fire while yelling "Allahu Akbar" (God is Great); shooting the two women in the back seat.

After the attack, the officer surrendered, and was taken into custody.

Six judges at the Kabul District Court found Naqibullah guilty of wounding, murder and treason and sentenced him to death.
