3.  On November 22, 1963,
President Kennedy and
Jacqueline Kennedy
traveled to Dallas, Texas, to
mend political fences with
members of the state’s
political party.
 After landing at Love Field,
the President and Mrs.
Kennedy traveled with
Texas Governor John
Connelly and his wife.

4.  Threats had been made
toward Kennedy, but
they were considered no
more serious than those
received previously. The
Presidential party
travelled through the
streets of Dallas in a
parade type fashion.

6.  Just before 12:30 p.m. CST, Kennedy’s limousine entered Dealey
Plaza and slowly approached the Texas School Book Depository
head-on. Nellie Connally, then the First Lady of Texas, turned
around to Kennedy, who was sitting behind her and commented,
“Mr. President, you can’t say Dallas doesn’t love you,” which
President Kennedy acknowledged.
 When the Presidential limousine turned and passed the Depository
and continued down Elm Street, shots were fired at Kennedy; the
great majority of witnesses recalled hearing three shots. There was
hardly any reaction in the crowd to the first shot, many later saying
they thought they had heard a firecracker or the exhaust backfire of
a vehicle. President Kennedy and Texas Governor John Connally,
sitting beside his wife in front of the Kennedys in the limousine,
both turned abruptly from looking to their left to looking to their
right. Connally immediately recognized the sound of a high powered
rifle. “Oh, no, no, no,” he said as he turned further right, and then
started to turn left, attempting to see President Kennedy behind
him.

7.  According to the Warren Commission and the House
Select Committee on Assassinations as President
Kennedy waved to the crowds on his right, a shot
entered his upper back, penetrated his neck, and
exited his throat. He raised his clenched fists up to his
neck and leaned forward and to his left, as Mrs.
Kennedy put her arms around him in concern.
Governor Connally also reacted, as the same bullet
penetrated his back, chest, right wrist, and left thigh.
He yelled, “My God, they are going to kill us all!”

8.  The final shot took place when the Presidential limousine
was passing in front of the John Neely Bryan north pergola
concrete structure. As the shot was heard, a fist-sized hole
exploded out from the right side of Kennedy’s head,
covering the interior of the car and the a nearby motorcycle
officer with blood and brain tissue.
 Secret Service agent Clint Hill was riding on the left front
running board of the car immediately behind the
Presidential limousine. Sometime after the shot that hit the
president in the back, Hill jumped off and ran to overtake
the limousine. After the president had been hot in the
head, Mrs. Kennedy climbed onto the rear of the
limousine, though she later had no recollection. Hill
believed she was reaching for something, perhaps a piece of
the president’s skull. He jumped onto the back of the
limousine, pushed Mrs. Kennedy back into her seat, and
clung to the car as it exited Dealey Plaza and sped to
Parkland Memorial Hospital.

10.  After the shooting,
investigations in near by
buildings uncovered a rifle
and three bullet shells on
the 6th floor of the Texas
School Book Depository.
 Lee Harvey Oswald would
soon be arrested at a movie
theater. His palm print was
on the rifle, he worked in
that building and on that
floor. He was at work
earlier that day.

11.  A trial never occurred
and Oswald never
admitted an wrong
doing. But, after saying
he was a “patsy” he was
to be moved to a new jail.
On the way, he was shot
and killed by a nightclub
owner, Jack Ruby.
