John F. Kennedy Assassination: November 22, 1963, two shots, one through his back and then another shot to the head that was the kill shot. Weird things happened after JFK died to the Kennedy family...a lot of Kennedy family members were killed after the 1963 assassination.
Lee Harvey Oswald joined the Marines and became a sharpshooter. He wasn't the best shooter out of the group, but he was still a sharpshooter, so he was still a good shot. He was discharged from the Marines, and he defected the USSR as a Communist, and then he came back to the US. He was being closely watched by the FBI because he had lived in Russia as a Communist, so him coming back to the US may have been a risk. He was in a museum building that he had worked at and knew well. He set up his window that he was going to shoot JFK from so that people wouldn't be able to see him by just walking by the building. He shot Kennedy and was making his way out to leave, and cops had run up the stairs of the building because there were reports of shots being fired up in that building. They recognized Oswald as someone that worked at the building so they let him go. He was walking along the street and a cop saw him and thought that it was strange that a guy was just walking down the street with what was going on. The cop's name was JD Tippet, and when Tippet questioned Oswald, Oswald pulled out a pistol and shot Tippet point blank. Then Oswald went to a shoestore, just looked around very nervously, and left. The person that worked there noticed this, called the police, and followed at some distance behind Oswald as he left the shoestore. The shoestore worker saw Oswald enter a theater, where the police intercepted him and arrested him. He resisted arrest, but he was taken under custody with the charges of killing a police officer, killing the president of the United States, and injuring the Governer of Texas. Oswald was shot before he could go to trial by Jack Ruby, a Dallas nightclub owner, while Oswald was walking out of the prison. Jack Ruby said that his reasoning for shooting Oswald was to "save" Jackie Kennedy from having to face Oswald in the trial. So, he supposedly did it out of the "goodness of his heart" and was "willing to take responsibility" of getting rid of Oswald. Not a heck of a lot of people thought that was all and totally true.
Grassy Knoll~Conspiracy Theories: There was a grassy area where a lot of people thought that there was gunfire in that general location. The warrant commission said that there was no evidence of anyone in that area, so they thought that the people heard an echo. Well, they did hear the echo...of the JFK assassination. The grassy area was far ahead and to the right of the direction that the car that JFK was riding in.
There was a theory that Nixon was involved because he had been in Dallas just the day before the JFK assassination.
The JFK Act: Congress passed the President John F. Kennedy Assassination Records Collection Act of 1992 (JFK Act), mandating the gathering and opening of all records concerned with the death of President Kennedy.
