He later decided that he would try to kill the president. When JFK had his visit to Texas on

November 22, 1963

This is Oswald with his Mannlicher-Carcano

rifle.

Oswald shot JFK from the 6th floor in the Texas School Book

Depository.This is his view of Elm Street where JFK's limousine

passed by.

This is the second bullet Oswald shot and

the first one that hit JFK.

After he was shot Jackie climbed to the back of the car to get a piece of his head, but luckily her agent was there to push her

back in the car. Oswald could of killed Jackie too because he had 1 more bullet but

luckily he decided not too.

A few days later after the assassination on November 24, Jack Ruby shot Oswald. He died because the shot damaged to many vital organs. The two pictures below show

the moment Oswald got shot and him on the stretcher

Overall JFK and Oswald are very interesting people. No one really knows

why Oswald did it. But what the can infer so far is that he wanted to be

famous and go into history.
