Assassination of President John F. Kennedy (Dealey Plaza)

On November 22, 1963, President John F. Kennedy was fatally shot while his motorcade passed through Dealey Plaza in downtown Dallas. Investigations, including the Warren Commission, concluded that shots were fired from the sixth floor of the Texas School Book Depository building, now the site of the Sixth Floor Museum. The circumstances and whether others were involved have been the subject of extensive investigation and public debate, and aspects of the case remain disputed. The event is one of the most studied and debated political killings in U.S. history.
