The president's motorcade storms through the streets of Dallas, Texas, like a "comet flying through outer space". Unknown to the world at large, the United States would come very close to losing its 35th President of the United States.that fateful day Interrupting a moment of excitement, the Texas residents had gotten at viewing their charismatic President. Shots rang out from the Dallas Book Depository, causing people to run for cover.
President kennedy in the left shoulder entering Governor Connolly shoulder wounding him.
Now the search for the shooter or shooters began!
Many believed there was a shooter in the bushes aiding Oswald but onlookers rushed to the Grassy Knoll and no one was found. About two hours later, Oswald was confronted by Police Officer J.D. Tippit on main street while oswald was walking to his hotel room
. Oswald would
have a trial . tell his side of the story after Tippit confronted him , they had a shootout and was shot by Tippit later that evening.
Vice President Johnson would act as President of the United States, talking to Senators or the heads of state in foreign lands.
Soon afterwards Walter Cronkite announced president Kennedy
was recovering after just barely escaping death.
1964 Presidential Election
Despite New York Governor Nelson Rockefeller winning the California primary, Arizona Senator Barry Goldwater had won the Republican nomination for President. Governor Rockefeller had won many delegates over the course of the primary season, but the "Happy" Scandal ruined any chance of a credible run for the Presidency. In the 1964 Democratic Primary, there were no major challengers to president Johnson except for Governor George Wallace of Alabama who only won South Carolina and his home state. President Johnson placed his arm around his wife ladybird Johnson as he took the stage at the Democratic National Convention ."I wish Jack Kennedy sucess I his reelection campaign and when I return to the senate in two years. Want him as my president and in his 2nd term".
Lee Harvey Oswald dropped his Marconi rifle in a garbage can. On the way to main street Dallas J.D. Tippit stopped him on his journey to a local motel room.
Tippit see's
a pistol in Oswald's pocket as he pulls off his jacket.
Tippit immediately pulls out his service revolver and shoots Oswald in the knee.he immediately fall's to the floor cursing the officer and mumbling something about freeing Cuba.
Elsewhere,
vice president Johnson cried out "No you Gober" to a secret service agent pointing gun at him as he points gun at him in nearby Dallas Hotel. Vice President Johnson says "we may lose president Kennedy
"tonight."Lyndon Johnson cried out to the secret service agent" lets not make John MCormack president of the United States."
Elsewhere at parkland memorial
Jacqueline Kennedy stands outside with agent Clint Hill praying her husband will pull through.
Elsewhere in Dallas Texas.A middle-aged woman hops into a Taxi,she says to the driver
"Did you hear the president had been shot"
The driver nods his head and it is that moment she turns her head and see s former vice president Richard Nixon. They stare at each other without saying a word and she turns her head a way.
