Lee Harvey Oswald, the man accused of assassinating President John F. Kennedy on November 22, 1963, allegedly took aim through the scope of his rifle at President Kennedy as his motorcade passed through Dealey Plaza in Dallas, Texas.
According to investigations and reports from the Warren Commission, Oswald fired three shots from the sixth floor of the Texas School Book Depository.
Oswald's rifle, a 6.5mm Carcano bolt-action, was aimed at Kennedy as the motorcade turned onto Elm Street, with Kennedy in the open-top limousine.
The first shot missed, the second hit both Kennedy and Texas Governor John Connally, and the third, fatal shot struck Kennedy in the head. The location from which Oswald fired was described as a window that allowed him a clear view of the motorcade as it proceeded down Elm Street.
The precise details of the assassination have been the subject of extensive investigation, with the Warren Commission concluding that Oswald acted alone.
