Secret Service agents ran to the president's car but they were to late the president had already been shot in the head, throat and upper back. Then at one P.M. Central Standard Time the president was pronounced dead. .
It wasn't long before the local and federal officials had the name of Lee Harvey Oswald. He was arrested and questioned for the murder of the president and an officer. Oswald was identified in a lineup by an eyewitness as the murder and by a man who had seen him in the Depository window. However, he denied killing President Kennedy or Officer Tippit. Oswald also denied that the rifle was his but it was shipped to a Dallas post office box in his name. Then on November 22 at 7:00 P.M. Oswald was officially charged with the murder of Officer Tippit and the assassination of President Kennedy. (Netzley, 44-52) On November 24 at 11:00 A.M. Oswald was being transferred to the county jail. There were many reports there to record this event and some how Jack Ruby got into the crowd. He then took a gun and shot Oswald in the stomach. Oswald would later die at 1:07 P.M. .
The Warren Commission was named as the group of people who would investigate the assassination of the president. They spent ten months investigating and presented almost a nine hundred page report called the Warren Report. The Warren report stated "Only three shots had been fired at President Kennedy and Governor Connally, all of them from the sixth floor of the Texas School Book Depository; Oswald killed both the president and Officer Tippit; Jack Ruby had never known either Tippit or Oswald; and no one in the Dallas Police Department had helped Ruby kill Oswald" (Netzley, 71-2). The findings by the Warren Commission were then put into a vault at the National Archives and ordered to be sealed for 75 years by President Johnson. The Commission also ignored testimony that did not go along with what they believed. Many people were not even interviewed because they said that they had seen another gunman or heard gun shots come from a grassy knoll.
