President JFK was assassinated November 22, 1963, Dallas, Texas. He was killed with 3 sniper bullets to the back of the head by Lee Harvey Oswald when he peered the the window of a school depository and put kennedy in the sight of the scope, or that's what the government thinks. Later when Oswald was taken to the most high security prison in the world, a man stepped in front of oswald and shot him in the head, this man's name was Jack Ruby. People thought Ruby and Oswald were a part of a bigger group, because how could one man plan to take out the president by himself. 3 months before JFK’s assassination Oswald had tried to kill a retired military general but I forgot his name. Oswald was sitting in a school depository (where he worked)

    Lee Harvey Oswald sat in the Texas School Book Depository on the sixth floor with his Mannlicher-Carcano rifle out the window awaiting the President's motorcade to round the corner. Oswald supposedly fired three shots in anywhere from four to seven seconds, "However, FBI tests revealed that Oswald’s rifle could be fired no faster than once every 2.25 seconds—which, on Zapruder’s camera, translated, to 40 or 41 frames" (Holland). By applying this information, Oswald could not have acted as a lone assassin because by taking the 2.25 seconds of firing into consideration, the time to reload, and the time to reevaluate where the President's motorcade had moved to it would have been impossible to get three shots on target off by just one assassin.…
