Assassination of Lincoln at Ford's Theater
The president and Mrs Lincoln were at Ford's Theater when a man in a dark suit entered their box and fatally shot Lincoln with a six barreled revolver. Captain Rathbone was wounded trying to stop the assassin, who fled to the stage and disappeared. Reports say J Wilkes Booth is the killer, with Seward also attacked at his home around the same hour and Major Seward and others injured. The events appear premeditated and coordinated.
