In Dallas, Texas, on November 22, 1963, America's beloved president, John F. Kennedy, was shot and killed in Dealey Plaza. This event typified the 9/11 terrorist attacks of the time. The nation was in absolute mourning. Soon after the calamity, many began to speculate whether just a lone killer was involved. Now, five decades later, the debate over who pulled the trigger or influenced the killing is still controversial. On the day of the assassination, President Kennedy was traveling in his motorcade near Dallas. By this time, Kennedy and his colleagues were preparing for the upcoming presidential election in 1964. Sitting in the back of the presidential limousine with his wife Jacqueline, the president smiled easily and waved to the citizens who crowded to see him. Then, suddenly, a metallic bang rang through the air and screams rang out across the square. Bullets hit the president in the neck and head and his body slumped towards his horrified wife. The governor of Texas, who was also in the vehicle, was shot in the chest. The president was rushed to Parkland Hospital after the first shots at 12:30 that November afternoon. Tragically, just half an hour later, President John F. Kennedy's heart activity stopped and he was declared dead. Now, the question was: who killed the president? Who could have been horrible enough to assassinate the President? This man was Lee Harvey Oswald, a former Marine who had defected to the Soviet Union. Many speculate that Oswald wasn't the only shooter in Dealey Plaza during the shooting. Oswald was found and arrested for the murder of Officer J.D. Tippit of the Dallas Police Force and for his earlier assassination of the President. The multiple exposures... half of the paper... were explored at Duquesne University."
