The planned motorcade route thus included a short one-block turn at the end of the downtown segment of Main Street, onto Houston Street for one block northward, before turning again west onto Elm,
in order to proceed through Dealey Plaza before exiting Elm onto the Stemmons Freeway. The Texas School Book Depository was situated at this corner of Houston and Elm.Three vehicles were used for secret service and police protection in the Dallas motorcade. The first car, an unmarked white Ford (hardtop), consisted of Dallas police chief Jesse Curry, secret service agent Win Lawson, Sheriff Bill Decker and Dallas field agent Forrest Sorrels. The second car, a 1961
Lincoln Continental convertible, consisted of driver agent Bill Greer, SAIC Roy Kellerman, governor John Connally, Nellie Connolly, President Kennedy and Jackie Kennedy.

and arrived at Love Field 15 minutes later. At about 11:40, the presidential motorcade left Love Field for the trip through Dallas, which was running on a schedule about 10 minutes longer than the planned 45 minutes, due to enthusiastic
crowds estimated at 150,000–200,000 persons, and two unplanned stops directed by the president.
By the time the motorcade reached Dealey Plaza they were only 5 minutes away from the presidents scheduled destination.
Shooting in Dealey Plaza["taken from
A Secret Service agent, by the name of Abraham Bolden, very quickly, jumped out of the car that followed the President's car and grabbed a hold of the President. After the President is shot in the shoulder, the next shot hit the
Secret Service agent in the shoulder as well. he would recover after some time in intensive care unit and given highest medal of honor bestowed to a secret service agent. Next shot hit the drive of the presidents car. saving everyone's life. Texas Governor John Connolly jumped out of his seat and heroically took the steering wheel changing direction to parkland memorial hospital/
hat would have fatally struck the President, had he not been present.Sadly The brave secret service agent died for the president
that day. Now the search for the shooter or shooters began! one was found by the grassy knoll and quickly apprehend. by Dallas authorities.
He was a communist sympathizer like Oswald. Oswald confronted Police Officer J.D.
and shot Tippet but the shot only wounded him and the police officer shot Oswald in the left knee and arrested Oswald Oswald cursed at tippet all
the way to the police station.uttering words nearly incorrect. something about a free Cuba.
