Shortly after noon on November 22, 1963, President John F. Kennedy was assassinated as he rode in a motorcade through Dealey Plaza in downtown Dallas, Texas.

Crowds of excited people lined the streets and waved to the Kennedys. The car turned off Main Street at Dealey Plaza around 12:30 p.m. As it was passing the Texas School Book Depository, gunfire suddenly reverberated in the plaza.

Bullets struck the president's neck and head and he slumped over toward Mrs. Kennedy. The governor was shot in his back.

The car sped off to Parkland Memorial Hospital just a few minutes away. But little could be done for the President. A Catholic priest was summoned to administer the last rites, and at 1:00 p.m. John F. Kennedy was pronounced dead. Though seriously wounded, Governor Connally would recover.

The president's body was brought to Love Field and placed on Air Force One. Before the plane took off, a grim-faced Lyndon B. Johnson stood in the tight, crowded compartment and took the oath of office, administered by US District Court Judge Sarah Hughes. The brief ceremony took place at 2:38 p.m.

Less than an hour earlier, police had arrested Lee Harvey Oswald, a recently hired employee at the Texas School Book Depository. He was being held for the assassination of President Kennedy and the fatal shooting, shortly afterward, of Patrolman J. D. Tippit on a Dallas street.

On Sunday morning, November 24, Oswald was scheduled to be transferred from police headquarters to the county jail. Viewers across America watching the live television coverage suddenly saw a man aim a pistol and fire at point blank range. The assailant was identified as Jack Ruby, a local nightclub owner. Oswald died two hours later at Parkland Hospital.

O

ut of the 104 Dealey Plaza earwitness reports published by the Commission and elsewhere:

• 56 recorded testimony that they remembered hearing at least one shot fired from either the Depository or near the Houston/Elm Street intersection
• 35 witnesses recorded testimony of at least one shot fired from either the grassy knoll or the triple underpass
• 8 stated that they heard shots being fired from elsewhere
• 5 testified that the shots were fired from two different directions

Motorcade Route:

Motorcade Route:
There is a grassy knoll on the northwest side of the plaza. At the plaza's west perimeter is a triple underpass beneath a railroad bridge, under which the motorcade raced after the shots were fired.

Elm Street:

Elm Street:
This was the location of the assassination of John F. Kennedy in 1963

Texas School Book Depository:

Texas School Book Depository:
This building, from which both the Warren Commission and the House Select Committee on Assassinations concluded, Lee Harvey Oswald fired a rifle that killed President Kennedy; 30 minutes after the shooting, Kennedy died at Parkland Memorial Hospital.

The sixth-floor corner window:
Is where Lee Harvey Oswald, an employee at the depository, shot and killed President Kennedy

View out of The Book Depository Window:

If you look close you can see the white X in the center lane. Grassy Knoll is on the right.

The Grassy Knoll:

The Grassy Knoll:
Journalist Merriman Smith, riding in the motorcade five cars behind President Kennedy, reported seeing Dallas Police run up this hill, which he called a grassy knoll. Some witnesses believed shots came from the knoll area, but police found no evidence of a gunman. The wooden stockade fence at the top, rebuilt several times since 1963, is a reproduction of the original fence.

The term "grassy knoll" was first used to describe this area by reporter Albert Merriman Smith of UPI, who was riding in the press "pool car" following the motorcade and had use of the car's radio-telephone. In his second dispatch from the car just 25 minutes after the shooting, he said, "Some of the Secret Service agents thought the gunfire was from an automatic weapon fired to the right rear of the president's car, probably from a grassy knoll to which police rushed." These words were then repeated on national television by CBS News anchor Walter Cronkite in his second CBS bulletin on the shooting.

Behind the Wooden Fence:

White X in the Road:

White X in the Road:
A white "X" on the Elm Street pavement marks the spot where President Kennedy was fatally shot.

Dallas dressmaker Abraham Zapruder stood on top of the pedestal with his receptionist, Marilyn Sitzman, standing behind to steady him. He was the only photographer known to have filmed the entire assassination and his images proved crucial to understanding what happened. Zapruder made copies of his film available to investigators within hours of the president's death.

Dallas County Criminal Courts Building:

Dallas County Criminal Courts Building:
This is the building where police intended to bring Lee Harvey Oswald, the man accused of shooting President Kennedy, on the day Oswald was shot. Had Oswald lived, he would have been interred in the jail and tried in one of the building's courtrooms. Instead, Jack Ruby, the man who shot Lee Harvey Oswald, was interred, tried, and convicted in the Dallas County Criminal Courts Building.

Today, the building is used for Probate Court cases and the storage of county records. The jail on the upper stories is not in use, and is not open to the public. The courtroom where Jack Ruby was tried is used for storage, and is also not open to the public.

The Sixth Floor Museum occupies the top two floors of the seven-story former Book Depository. Dealey plaza is typically visited daily by tourists. Since 1989, more than six million people have visited the museum.
