John F. Kennedy was assassinated on November 22, 1963 in Dallas, Texas. He was driving around Dallas when a man named Lee Harvey Oswald shot him in twice, once in the head and once in the neck. The governor was also shot once by Oswald at the same time. Kennedy was announced as dead about half an hour after being shot, but the governor was able to recover. Shortly after shooting Kennedy, Oswald also shot a police officer. He wasn't arrested for shooting JFK but was actually arrested for shooting the officer. When he was being transferred from one jail to another, a club owner named Jack Ruby shot Oswald point blank and killed him. This encounter happened on live television. Ruby was then arrested.
