Suspect Denies He Shot Kennedy in Dallas Murder Frame
A gunman assassinated President Kennedy from an ambush in Dallas using a high powered rifle. Lee Harvey Oswald, 24, was charged with murder after authorities said he fired from a fifth story position, killing Kennedy and wounding Governor Connally. Oswald, born in Texas, denied the shooting and claimed Russian citizenship plans. Police linked him to a group called Fair Play for Cuba. The motorcade scene prompted frantic witnesses and Parkland Hospital treated the President, who died later, as Parkland medical staff worked to save him.
