The Assassination

Kennedy and his wife were traveling though the streets of Dallas,
Texas in the presidential motorcade. Three shots were fired. Two
hit the president, once in the throat and once in the head. The
one shot ricocheted off a tree. And another went through
Kennedy and hit Govonor Connally. Lee Harvey Oswald was
arrested for killing the president shortly after the shooting. He
was a former marine and a confused and embittered Marxist who
had spent time in the Soviet Union. People believe Oswald shot
Kennedy because he was apparently an impulsive, frustrated,
confused, angry young man with a feeling of hostility toward
authority in general, and the U.S. government in particular.
