The report stated that Oswald fired three shots from the sixth-floor window of the book depository, with one missing the motorcade, one injuring both Kennedy and Connally, and the final shot killing the president. The commissionβs findings, however, left many questions unanswered, and public skepticism about the "lone gunman" theory grew.
On November 24, before Oswald could stand trial, he was fatally shot by nightclub owner Jack Ruby in the basement of Dallas Police Headquarters, an event that added another layer of mystery to the case.
The Warren Commission, established by President Johnson to investigate the assassination, concluded in 1964 that Oswald acted alone.
The Official Account
Within hours, authorities arrested Lee Harvey Oswald, a 24-year-old former Marine who had recently been employed at the Texas School Book Depository. Oswald was charged with the assassination of Kennedy and the murder of Dallas police officer J.D. Tippit, who was killed shortly after the president.
Texas Governor John Connally, who was riding in the same car, was also seriously injured.
The motorcade rushed to Parkland Memorial Hospital, but doctors were unable to save Kennedy. At 1:00 p.m., the 35th President of the United States was pronounced dead. Vice President Lyndon B. Johnson, who was traveling in a separate car, was sworn in as president aboard Air Force One later that day.
The Events of November 22, 1963
President Kennedy was visiting Dallas as part of a campaign trip to mend political divisions within the Democratic Party ahead of the 1964 election. Crowds gathered along the motorcade route to catch a glimpse of the charismatic leader. At 12:30 p.m., as the presidential limousine passed the Texas School Book Depository, shots rang out. Kennedy was struck by two bullets: one in the neck and another fatal shot to the head.

The Assassination of John F. Kennedy: A Mystery That Endures
November 22, 1963, remains one of the most infamous and tragic days in modern history. It was on this date that President John F. Kennedy was assassinated while riding in a motorcade through Dealey Plaza in Dallas, Texas. The official narrative, as presented by the Warren Commission, identified Lee Harvey Oswald as the lone gunman responsible for the president's death.
The artist behind this vessel has been identified as the Boreads Painter, who led one of Sparta's most prominent pottery workshops between 575 and 550 B.C. As with most Greek vase painters, his true name is unknown, and he is recognized solely by his distinctive style, especially his way of rendering figures and his signature use of pomegranate bands to frame interior scenes. The name Boreads Painter derives from one of his tondo designs, which depicts the Boreads, sons of the North Wind.
The exterior decoration consists of three ornamental friezes encircling the underside of the bowl: a row of pomegranates with double petals, a series of upright tongues painted alternately in black and purple, and a band of broad upright rays. From the bases of the handles, horizontal palmettes extend outward.
Stemmed drinking cups like this one were a hallmark of Laconia, the region surrounding Sparta.
The interior of this kylix (drinking cup) features a dynamic scene of Bellerophon battling the Chimera, a fire-breathing creature with the body of a lion, a goat emerging from its back, and a snake for a tail. In his right hand, Bellerophon holds the reins of his winged horse, Pegasus, which rears up to confront the monster. The hero is depicted in a kneeling pose, a convention in Archaic Greek art (circa 700β480 B.C.) to signify rapid movement.
