No, but two days later Lee Harvey Oswald's murder was the first murder to be seen on live television. I think it would have been seen first shown on tv after the acquisition of Abraham Zapruder's home movie footage taken on the day. I believe it was a number of years before this was seen as it was considered too upsetting for the American public to see the brutal manner of the murder of their former president.

What most people saw instead was the murder of his murderer.
Amidst more cops than many of us had ever seen in one place at one time, outside of a parade, the man that supposedly murdered President John Fitzgerald Kennedy was killed before our eyes, the action caught live, on television, on a bright November Sunday morn.
It was the event that would change the American world and launch television on its journey to where it is today, 24/7, network, cable and beyond.

I doubt, very much, that it WAS shown, "LIVE", but, the film footage shot, by bystander, ABRAHAM ZAPRUDER, - shown, - I believe, - within a matter of HOURS, of the actual EVENT, is, - now, - one of the most FAMOUS, in HISTORY!
On the still-contentious ISSUE of John F. Kennedy's killing, though, - I do NOT think that Lee Harvey Oswald acted ALONE!

I was twelve then, and sure it wasn't shown live on tv.There was too much confusion as to what really happened at first.The first video images I'm sure came days afterwards.Oswalds murder was live though.
