John F. Kennedy's Assassination

On November 22, 1963, in Dallas, Texas, John F. Kennedy’s assassination took place in a moving vehicle. John F. Kennedy was in the vehicle with his wife Jacqueline, Texas Governor John Connally and John Connally’s wife, Nellie. As the car was driving along the road, high up in a building, Lee Harvey Oswald shot two bullets, one hitting John F. Kennedy in the head, and the other in his neck. Oswald’s third bullet hit John Connally, but the Governor was able to stay alive. Unfortunately, that was not the case for John F. Kennedy. Paramedics immediately took John F. Kennedy to Parkland Memorial Hospital where he was declared dead. Two days later, on November 24, 1936, Oswald was shot and killed by Jack Ruby, ending Oswald’s life and the chance to understand why he shot the president.
