(November 22, 2008)—Saturday marks the 45th anniversary of the assassination of President John F. Kennedy, who was shot as he rode in an open limousine in a motorcade in downtown Dallas.
The gunshots rang out shortly before noon and crowds that lined the street watched in horror as the president slumped in the backseat of the limousine, with wounds to his head and neck.
A third bullet tore through the chest and arm of Texas Gov. John B. Connally, Jr., who was riding with Kennedy.
The limousine driver sped to nearby Parkland Hospital where doctors mounted a futile effort to save the life of the 46-year-old president, who was pronounced dead 30 minutes later.
Connally survived and recovered from his wounds.
Police arrested Lee Harvey Oswald, 24, about two hours after the president was shot and about 30 minutes after Oswald gunned down Dallas Officer J.D. Tippit, who had pulled him over.
Club owner Jack Ruby shot Oswald to death two days later.
The Warren Commission later ruled Oswald acted alone, but debate continues to rage over whether he was the sole assassin or whether he was necessarily the assassin at all.
