Assassination of John F. Kennedy

  Frame 313 of the Zaprider film(caution; grahpic image)(image that is needed)

John F. Kennedy, the 35th President of the United States, was assassinated at 12:30 p.m. Central Standard Time (18:30 UTC) on Friday, November 22, 1963, in Dealey Plaza, Dallas, Texas. Kennedy was fatally shot while travelling with his wife Jackie, in a Presidential limousine (Texas Governor John Connolly was wounded in the assassination). An official investigation, that became known as the Warren Commission named after Chief Justice Earl Warren, investigated the assassination eventually coming to the conclusion that Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone in killing the President and Police Officer J.D. Tippit. They also concluded that Jack Ruby, a Dallas nightclub owner acted alone in killing Oswald two days after the assassination.

However many people believe there was a conspiracy involved with Kennedy's assassination. Some insist that there were one or two more shooters in Dealey Plaza (like the Grassy Knoll shooter), some believe that Oswald was framed by the US Government because of his Communist ties, others say that the KGB (Soviet Union Secret Service) or pro-Castro supporters carried out the assassination, while many blame the mafia, Texas oil barons (like the Hunt Brothers) or the Ku Klux Klan for the assassination, and others concluded that the US government (the FBI, CIA, and even Vice-President Lyndon B. Johnson) ordered the assassination because of his lack of interest in fighting an all out war in Vietnam.

After Sirhan B. Sirhan's assassination of Robert F. Kennedy, JFK's brother, in 1968, a common motto of the police was "Not Another Dallas".
