- Three shots rang out in Dallas, Texas, on November 22, 1963, killing U.S. President John F. Kennedy and changing the world forever. Almost 60 years have passed since America’s 35th president was assassinated during a motorcade, and few moments in history are as visceral or powerful. The shocking event sparked a national fascination and conspiracy theories about whether Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone in the murder of JFK.
This episode of History Stories revisits President Kennedy and First Lady Jacqueline Kennedy's tragic day and the aftermath of a crime that stunned the world.

I was six years old when this happened. They sent us home from school and upon arrival I found my mother in front of the television crying. I remember this all so clearly.
Thank you very much for sharing your personal experience with us. Sending you all the best
Me to I was really sad when I got to school we stood in a moment of silence 😢

Who is HERE AFTER DONALD TRUMP ATTACK? CRAZY WORLD
I was 1 yr old, When this happened to JFK I felt 1963 had happened and felt PTSD, But when he got up and put he’s fist up! And said FIGHT! FIGHT! FIGHT! He is a Bad A..s!
My great grandfather and grandmother were present during his death. My great grandfather was a photographer and brought my grandmother (who was six) with him because she wanted to see the president and first lady in the flesh only to witness his end. She said it was the most horrible day of her life and that the memory still haunted her until her death last 2020. Sadly he burnt all of the pictures he had of JF. Kennedy, especially the pictures on that day and destroyed his camera the day after the incident. My great grandfather is still alive, but refuses to speak about it
No words can explain people's sadness and wonder what is real reason
I remember the day well. I was 8 years old. We were sent home from school early. My Dad was home from work and both my parents had been crying. I knew this was serious. Not a week has gone by in my life since where this day hasn’t crossed my mind.
Yes,I was also 9 years old and was studying in class IV.I faintly remember that school was closed after lunch time.Everyone were very sad .
How old are you now?
John F. Kennedy - a great man and a great president.
He wasn't actually a great president. LBJ did more for the country in his terms. He did bring new possibilities, but never got the chance to fulfill them bcuz of the little snot Oswald, who murdered JFK on his own.
indeed He was the best president the Americans could ever have.... A great human being....

lie ha?
How can a 24 year old school board worker take 2 back to back shots, from that distance, with such astonishing precision - 1 shot hit the back of his throat - that is a width of 3-4 inches, and the next hit the back of his head... how can anyone believe that someone who has not trained rigorously in the military or otherwise - could have such marksmanship? It's like William Tell shooting the arrow at an apple on his son's head. That too with all the noise on the day - nearly 150,000 people were in the crowd, and with all the people lingering around the vehicles - to fire such well timed, accurate shots? And that too, in the precise short moments - the 100 yards where the vehicle was moving in a straight line before it turns around a bend again. It is bloody obvious this was all planned to a tee!! It was a well thought, carefully made, perfectly timed plan. And who knows if LJB was in on it. He's the one who gained the most from the murder. The worst thing is that the actual killer or killers, have been walking around free for nearly 60 years, and might actually be alive today.
There is so much proof out there that Oswald didn't do this. He was eating a sandwich in the cafeteria and seen by multiple people at 12:26. We're expected to believe he finished, got upstairs and got off those precise shots in 4 minutes. Not to mention the motorcade was running behind, he couldn't have even known exactly when the President's car would be in the right spot to take a shot. There's so much more. It's crazy to believe any of it.
I've read that there were actually multiple plans, deliberately and on purpose, to throw people off and get them to fruitlessly argue amongst themselves as to what actually happened. We will probably never know the truth, just as Jack Ruby himself said before he died in prison. Oswald? I believe he was what he said he was - a patsy.
He was trained by the best Marines
His wounds were consistent with Oswald making those shots. It really wasn't as insane of a shot as people make it out to be.
Easy shots....Your comment is null & void.
Omg this would have been the same story for Donald Trump…Thank God they didn’t get him
A number of inaccuracies in this report. …Malcolm Kilduff, the White House assistant press secretary made the announcement of President Kennedy‘s death not Pierre Salinger,. Salinger (the White House press secretary) was traveling to Japan at the time.
Oswald claimed he did not shoot anyone, and he may be correct. From 2017 to the present, 2024, several videos have surfaced presenting newly released evidence suggesting that he was not the sole shooter.
It's been 60 years since that fateful day. I was 5 years old at that time.
Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment.
I was 15 months old living in England.
I was also 5 years old at the time. My mom was crying in front of our black and white TV also. 😢 so sad l will never forget that day.
Every time I look at those JFK footage and photos I never understand why none of the law enforcement, CIA, or Secret Service agents who stayed in Dealey Plaza took a defensive stance and scanned the area when JFK was shot. This could have been for identification purposes, ensuring their safety and the safety of others, or just as a natural reaction to gunfire. Many citizens instinctively took cover, like the famous couple who shielded their children. Also, why didn't they immediately run and sweep all the areas around, looking for the shooter or shooters and establishing a perimeter? There might have been more than one, at the time they didn't know.
They arrested 5 random guys shortly after, look it up, there is a photo. They were let go.
Nu era lumea atît de activă și inteligenta ca acum!!,. mă refer in poliție 😢😢😢 păcat nu se mai naște asemenea om ca președinte niciodată,dar niciodată!!!!
Why didnt they? It's quite obvious.
Why did cops and others go to the hill?? Seems to me something had to come from there for them to immediately go towards the hill.
Probably the best US president in history.Followed by Ronald Reagan. When he lived we were the UNITED STATES Of America, we were proud to be Americans.
I can't imagine being there that day
I still have the same reaction. AWWWW fuck!
What was and what could of been
America will never know.
Yes because he was magically going to do something in his final year that he didn't do in the first 3.
JFK was about to do away with the Federal Reserve, and was totally against sending troops to Viet Nam, he also was reining in the CIA. After his murder Lyndon Johnson sent troops to Viet Nam, left the Federal Reserve system and the CIA to their own schemes.
I had just turned 9 years old on Nov. 3rd. Just released from the hospital for a kidney disease. I was put unto my bed and my mom turned on the TV for me and this was on every channel that we got. Ch. 4, WCMH Ch 6 WSYX, and Ch 10 WBNS.
It's funny how ya can't remember what ya did with the car keys, or what ya had for dinner last night, or if ya paid your electric bill last month, but you can remember this 61 years ago like it just happen...
I was 7 yrs old. My dad picked from school and when we went home, I saw my grandmother really crying.😢😢
Thank you for sharing this memory
This not good something behind all of this
Surprised they let him lie in repose with his injuries. Lyndon Johnson didn't like the Kennedys, apparently disliked RFK the most. Although he was JFKs vice president. It must have been a shocker when it all happened then his brother
The casket was closed.
How else would they let him lie? In repose is how they refer to corpses. That's after he's already left Texas and is back in Washington. Were they supposed to let him heal first and then bury him 😂.
He was atill lying in state at the capitol when the Viet Nam war was reversed
He took the risk rather than let
Lbj a real texan visit the state
He put himself in Harms way!
He might be a good president but he did dirty to Marilyn monroe 😢
That was a rumor
It wasn't Pierre Salinger who made the press announcement in Dallas that President Kennedy had died. It was Malcolm Kilduff.
Lbj admn.and conolly the most illbred admin that took over kennedy position
On the Trail of the Assassins
Jim Garrison
At 2:23 that is actually not Pierre Salinger. It’s Malcolm Kilduff, Assistant Press Secretary. Pierre was on a flight to Japan with several members of the Cabinet.
America hasnt been the same since Nov 22,1963!
Why? Isn't that too long of a tym to recover from any grief!!
Or December 7th 1941.
@@mohdsaad1588Because the real killers and conspirators have never been brought to justice
@@mohdsaad1588 JFK had tremendously beneficial policies and was not going to send troops --never mind draft 18 year old boys-- to fight in Viet Nam.
The culprit behind his death well known, why he died and what conspiration behind his death.
Oswald did not do it
UFO!!!!!!
@@JavierValverde-dw7cy Of course not, he merely:
- owned and smuggled the rifle
- left his latent print on it
- lied to police about his whereabouts during the shooting
- immediately fled the crime scene
- took evasive action to sneak back to his rooming house
- was ID'd by nearly a dozen witnesses as shooting a cop and fleeing
- was plainly seen trying to hide from and dodge passing police
- was caught red-handed trying to shoot a second cop
- fought so violently 3 officers were injured just disarming him
- observed, "Well, they say it only takes a minute to die" after asking about the penalty for cop-killing
- refused to cooperate with any investigator
- had bullets, fragments and shells matched to his weapons
- turned down help from the President of the Dallas Bar Association
- was only interested in a lawyer he'd never met who specialized in left-wing causes
- acted so smug he even convinced his own brother he was guilty
- made no attempt to blow any conspiracy to anybody
- just shrugged a hollow, rambling, unsurprised reply when asked on live TV, "Did you shoot the President?"
Obviously, the killer was somebody else.
@@aaronz7056 The print of his finger was put on the rifle AFTER his death by the police so the police did something illegal called Tampering With Evidence and False Testimony. He was running away from police because he realized he had been set up by the CIA who had told him he was there to protect the President from assassination. He was innocent and realized that he was set up as a patsy.
Also have you realized that he is the only ones of so called alleged assassins to never admit to it? Every other one has except him which to me means he's innocent
@@aaronz7056 He was going trying to blow the conspiracy with the reporters at the Dallas Police Department but Chief Curry was ordered to stop makng Oswald available for reporters. Curry and powers that be were scared he was gonna reveal who was behind the assassination
My on-going, and deep felt condolences;
go out to Caroline Kennedy.💖
I have mourned for my very first President-
John Fitzgerald Kennedy
My whole life.😢
It is now 60 years later.
The truth is still not fully known about his murder.
If, and when; the real truth is finally revealed--
My question is:
What is the Remedy?!
How do we; as the American people; move forward?
💖 John Kennedy wanted peace 🕊️
It seems everyone else did not 👿
The Killers also morning 😭😭
Just Goosebumps Moments . .
The Great President In America and Wonderful Hearted Human Being❤👌
I Heard About This Wonderful President But Dis Is The First Time Watching His Video . .
So Tragedy 💔😭
May His Beautiful and Lovable Soul Rest In Peace 🙏🙏🙏...
Thanks for watching and commenting.
😢😢😢❤
Need time machine,
ASAP
Or bring back the previous timeline
That the world
Was on in 2011....
I guess he was a liked president of the US-am writing from kerala(south india)(India).
MY HEART TRULY GOES OUT FOR HIS ASSASSINATION
🤡🤡😆😆 it was 70 years ago
@@ArizonaSquatch okay?? He cant feel bad?
JFK was one of the best American Presidents. The USA lost a lot on that day.
@@ArizonaSquatch It was not 70 years ago. JFK was assassinated on 11/22/1963. Learn how to add and subtract when you have the time.
I a a firm beliver that LBJ had a major role in the assination of President John Kennedy. Johnson wanted to be president. President Kennedy also wanted to end the Vietnam War. Johnson wanted to keep it ongoing.
What evidence shows that LBJ had anything to do with the assassination of JFK?
@@9Ballr I think I explained it very well in my post.
@@barbfetrow1595 Wanting to be President and disagreeing with Kennedy about the Vietnam War does not establish that LBJ played any role in JFK's assassination. You would be laughed out of a courtroom if you tried to convict someone of being an accomplice to murder on those two claims. You may believe that LBJ had something to do with JFK's murder, but you have no evidence that shows he did.
@@9Ballr How do you know that I don't?
@@barbfetrow1595 I asked you for the evidence, and all you said was that LBJ wanted to be President and disagreed with JFK about Vietnam. Okay, so then tell me what evidence establishes that LBJ had a major role in the assassination of JFK.
Why was he assasinated in the first place
REST IN PEACE
Say what you want, but it was all a bit too convenient. Oswald getting killed right after Kennedy, then all those other people like Dorothy Kilgallen. It was obviously a plot, with multiple shooters.
Why is the majority of this video in a foreign language?
It's funny that all of the videos are clear except for when it happens also in the video there is a police officer with a rifle doesn't that seem funny to you
No.
No because every officer had shotguns and rifles, when a President is out in public they arm up.
It was hard sorrow no one can bear it. JFK seems me generous,determined and my brother. I am very surprised when looked at the past USA President like JFK young charismatic leaders and today such great country lack similar leader.
Dear Commonwealth Club:
If the Secret Service had been on the two rear bumper foot stands on the limo with hand grips the shots would have been blocked. JFK did not want them there because he wanted himself and Jackie to be seen. It was always said that the rear bumper foot stands were not in the right place to protect the President anyway. This video clearly shows where the rear bumper foot stands were and would have protected the President. Also, it was always very obtuse about how Clint Hill got onto the back of the car with Jackie. Earlier windows of the footage show him riding on the side of the back up car. Somehow he managed to run up and jump on JFK's car stepping onto the bumper footstand and leaping onto the back of the car. Many accounts had him somehow walking along. So many strange stories. Strange these bumper stands were never brought up or revealed in the hundreds and hundreds of footage and photos I saw about the assasination. The bumper stands that were not there are there. Very mysterious. The hand rail to hang on is clearly visible on the right side of the car. More disproven conspiracy stories. It just goes on and on. Emory Roberts rode shotgun in the back up car head of the Secret Service Detail that day at Dealey Plaza. When the President got shot, Emory Roberts was in charge thereafter. Nobody ever talks about that. He took charge of everything, and immediately got Johnson onto Air Force One to leave Dallas and be sworn in going to Washington or if necessary a safe place to protect him. Emory was my neighbor in Wheaton, Md. on Holdridge Rd. Most of this is in Dealey Plaza - The End of Camelot
It sounds like you may have something interesting to say but I have no idea what it is - that there was a conspiracy or that there wasn't? What's the significance of these details about bumper stands and handrails? And why should anyone have talked about Emory Roberts -- an anonymous Secret Service agent -- taking charge of the security team?
@@celtaclassroom7082 I had seen a video entitled "Creepy JFK Assassination" in which the secret service agents were called away from the bumper stands and shortly thereafter JFK was assassinated. Who knows what to believe.
Because they should've talked about him and to him to see why and how it was handled by him. I am speaking of Emory Roberts. And I have read and listened to everything about this.There are too many credible people with coroberating facts who have made them very well known. It is no secret, who may be responsible for this evil plan and who put it into action. It is the details , and the entire events ,and who was behind it ,that we are waiting for.And we will wait.
Thank you for all the what may have seemed like minor details at the time and became even more minor after the fact for ,what I think and always have, are obvious reasons.
I agree that this was the largest most detailed , planned and covered up assination by the most greedy and evil people that lived at this time and probably are still alive.
I am 70 and I hope the absolute truth will come out after a few more well known family members of those involved pass on. This changed everything, then and still to this day - the world we live in would not be at all the same. So many younger people do not have a clue to how this changed the entire direction of our Lives and this World. Such a terrible , evil , shame.
RIP to JFK , RFK , MLK and to ALL THOSE who sought peace, justice , fairness ,equality - whether it is equal rights or basic human rights and LOVE for one World and all of Humanity - that have fallen at the hands of the evil and greedy powers that be.
The day the United States lost its innocence
The ' Hail to the chief ' music make me emotional
The thought going through everyone’s mind immediately after this thing had to be what evil was behind this .
His brother his son were also killed in acruel way heartlesspeople jackol is johnson only
The assasination of this great man was so horrific to this day i'm still not over it. I am very aware of those responsible. Cannot understand how they can do such a horrible deed...they think they got away with it but God is their judge & will determine where they will spend eternity. I cannot imagine how his family got through this horrible thing his wife especially.
God bless 🙏 you spirit amen 🙌
RIP Jack no one will ever slove nov 22 in Dallas its been 60 plus years
As foreseen by Nostradamus
App it was a closed-coffin cos:Jackie didn't want ppl 2gawk at him*Soo sad tho,his presidency was much loved,look at:JFKJr.his dad would've been so proud of him:RIP**
Whether you voted for him or not, I hear it was a pleasure to meet him. Even Bill Clinton got to shake his hand!
Thank you for sharing your thoughts with us and our community.
I was then 12 years old & was the student of class VII. I heard the sad news over Radio. Don't know how I became an admirer of Late President Kennedy. Till now I love & have a high regards on Late President Kennedy.
A great man a greater president but ended too early RIP sir
I was five months old.
Those people are going to continue to do bad things, and already know they will blame someone for their deeds.
it's worth remembering that the last official US investigation, the 1975 House Subcommittee on Assassinations, found that he was shot at from more than one direction. So to definitively state that Oswald killed Kennedy isn't necessarily accurate.
This was truly sad. Even if i wasnt alive i will always remember him. And that day is one, reason why there should be no, no roofed president cars, because this was awful 😢
Thank you for sharing your thoughts with us and our community.
Big sorrow to Mrs knedy.. 😢😭😭😓
A great man i was in 7th std my school closed on that day still iam worrying for that but no use
The time was ticking he just didn't know!!!
Oh my god he was so strong but very sades die 😢
at 2:25 that's Malcom Kilduff
I wasn’t even born yet he was gone 20 years before I was born he should of never been in a open car the us government killed him period
Shit happens so fast its crazy
Why accused was shot down so hurrily.. There should be an proper investigation. Secrete service was involved at that time too.. As now in case of Donald Trump..
My name is not important.
It began with a confession.
I am at the table , when Patricia Kennedy and Peter lawford appeared through the crowd and headed towards our table .
I was sitting across from Judy garland.
They said jack Kennedy wanted to say hello to Judy after , the premier of “ a star is born “.
Jack Kennedy appeared about 5 minutes later and wow , was he young .
I swear it was love at first sight for the both of them .
Cameras took photos and he waved them away .
1957 was the beginning of the Kennedy garland time line .
For me , it was odd seeing the emerald king with Dorothy gale after seeing the wizard of Oz !!!
It’s was like fantasy in reality...
The emerald city was Boston .
In Hyannis port we were at the garland home .
Jack asked Judy for help to win the presidency!!1960 arrived and together, gale and the emerald president won !
Be sitting there then next thing u on yur way to the hospital
The person was watching him heavy to do this
To dust we shall return.
I was only 3yrs old when president Kennedy's was killed by Oswald and I didn't remember it at all. My mom was crying and dad came home. Because of my dad was a MP medic in army 🪖 and navy and I didn't remember it at all.
But Oswald was not the real shooter...same with crooks not the real shooter 😢
The last authentic President imo.
True
Om Namh.
Who is Oswald?
Youre lidding, right?
All the clues, the facts, the testimonies and medical findings and testimonies point to one person behind this tragedy, and that is the person who benefited from JFK's death. RFK, his brother and AG at that time, put the blame on that person, too. LBJ
@@biloz2988
It was the CIA because if his close connection with the soviet
It was the CIA with influences of others - for a few different reasons , I believe.
Wow couldn't they waited abit n4(swearing in)???So sad,gone 2soo
This was the height of the Cold War and they had no idea if this was the opening volley of WWIII, it was important to show the government and the succession were strong and operating.
There has been something mentioned in the past about LBJ having in his pocket , something to do with , a piece of paper a legal form or similar - that is needed if a Vice President is needed to be sworn in - in an emergency situation. Something that surprised a few people as it would not ordinarily be carried by him , especially in his pocket.
Does anyone know what I am talking about.
Johnson is also invovled in this asasination 😮
I m 62 markmanning 808 So I have no recall of Kennedy being assassinated I know it must have been horrid and gruesome A real bad day too JFK has always been my favorite U S president
JFK the best President no.1 in the world☝️
I have no proof but also no doubt that Oswald was innocent. Somehow Oswald knew who did it and that's why he was shot dead to keep him silent
1:41 The fiction starts in this video. 3:15 This video conveniently omits Oswald claiming "I'm a patsy". 10:04 Oh, is that none other than Allen Dulles on the Warren Commission? Gee, I wonder what could go wrong here. Just freeze frame at this mark & take a good long look of the expressions of these shysters on that so-called "commission". One dude on the left is actually grinning at LBJ (He's not even on the Warren Commission staff). My God, these coup plotters have completed their cover-up!
Under the video..."conspiracy theories" about whether or not LHO acted alone. Guess what? Those conspiracy theories have just been validated 60 years later & your Fictional Warren Report "magic bullet" has been de-bunked by Jackie's own SS agent who revealed he found a bullet in the car & placed it on JFK's stretcher. GFY
Not one shred of evidence of anyone other than Oswald, 60 years and the mentally ill are still clinging to their childish conspiracy fantasies.
