On that fateful November day, Lee Harvey Oswald killed 2 and wounded 1

President John F. Kennedy was assassinated by Lee Harvey Oswald as his motorcade passed through Dealey Plaza. On the sixth floor of the Texas School Depository Building, he is alleged to have fired three shots with his.38 rifle. J.D. Tippit, a patrolman, was also killed by Oswald in addition to Kennedy, and he was mistakenly identified as the person who killed the President by Tippit. One mile from Oswald's lodgings, at 1:15 pm on the same day, the murder took place.

During Oswald's shooting rampage, Governor John B. Connally also suffered critical injuries. The Republican required surgery for his wounds, which also included three broken ribs, a broken wrist, and a punctured lung. Around 1:45 pm on that day, the police managed to capture Oswald. On November 23, 1963, early in the morning, he was charged with killing the President.
