On November 22, 1963, John F. Kennedy, the 35th President of the United States, was assassinated in Dallas, Texas. He was shot while riding in a motorcade through Dealey Plaza. The event shocked the nation and the world, leading to widespread mourning and speculation about the motives behind the attack. Lee Harvey Oswald was arrested shortly after the assassination and was charged with the murder. However, he was killed two days later by Jack Ruby before he could stand trial. The official investigation, conducted by the Warren Commission, concluded that Oswald acted alone, but conspiracy theories about the assassination persist to this day.
