Oswald told Dallas police that “Nobody’s going to shoot at me.”

It's an interesting fact about Lee Harvey Oswald that on the day he was assassinated by Jack Ruby, he discounted the possibility that his life would be in danger. James Leavelle, a retired Dallas police officer who assisted in escorting Oswald from his cell on the morning of the shooting, said that

When placing the handcuffs on Lee, Leavelle jokingly remarked, "If somebody fires at you, I hope they're as good a shooter as you are," obviously referring to the fact that they would miss and instead hit Lee. He then remarked, "Oh, you're being melodramatic," or something of that kind, and he kind of laughed. He said that nobody would shoot at him.

Soon after, Oswald was dead.
