Answer 1

John Fitzgerald Kennedy was shot in Dallas, Texas... presumably by Lee Harvey Oswald, while riding in the back seat of his convertible car in a parade that if I recall correctly was only being held because he was there... The word spread quickly and shocked many.. A little while later Oswald was apprehended from his hiding place in a theatre a few blocks away.

Answer 2

President Kennedy is assassinated
President John F. Kennedy is shot and killed as his motorcade drives through Dealey Plaza in Dallas, Texas. Kennedy's suspected assassin, Lee Harvey Oswald, was believed to have used a mail-order rifle in order to shoot the president from the sixth story window of the Texas School Book Depository.
Oswald was a former Marine with a record of bizarre behavior. In 1959, he defected to Russia after years of obsessive interest in communism. He spent three years there before becoming disaffected and returning to the United States in 1962. Upon his return, he became involved with several political fringe groups and developed an intense interest in Cuba and Fidel Castro.
On November 22, several people claimed to have seen Oswald near the sixth floor of the Depository, where he was employed. From the sixth floor window, atop cartons of books assembled to make a sniper's perch, Oswald purportedly fired three shots, the last of which killed Kennedy as his motorcade passed by the building. A gun that was later located in the Depository had a palm print that matched Oswald's.
Forty-five minutes after the assassination, Oswald was seen hurrying through the Dallas streets by police officer J.D. Tippit, who identified him as matching the description of Kennedy's killer. When Tippit attempted to apprehend him, Oswald shot him to death with a revolver and fled.
In the early afternoon, police converged on the Texas Theater, where Oswald had been spotted. Inside, Oswald punched an approaching officer and withdrew a pistol. The gun misfired and other police officers grabbed him. "I am not resisting arrest," Oswald cried as he was dragged out in front of an angry crowd of onlookers. "Don't hit me anymore! I want a lawyer!" In fact, Oswald would never require the services of an attorney because he was shot and killed by Dallas restaurant owner Jack Ruby as he was being transferred from the police station to the county jail two days later.

Answer 3

Yes, I remember this day.

I was in second grade, practicing for my First Communion. We were all at the church. Then, someone came in and told the teachers. The teachers told us that President Kennedy was hurt and we had to pray for him. For me, being hurt, meant that he fell and scraped his knee.

By the time we got back to the school, the PA was on (public address system). President Kennedy had died. We learned more about it when we got home. I remember the teachers were crying. It was a very sad time.
