The man believed to have killed the president was twenty-four year old Lee Harvey Oswald. He was seen leaving the Texas School Book Depository at approximately 12:33p.m. Oswald's fingerprints were found on the rifle that ballistic tests proved was the one that had been fired from the sixth floor of the depository. There was also proof that Oswald had purchased the 6.5 millimeter carbine and was in the building when the president was killed. Oswald denied shooting the president.

Ruby had been allowed into the high security area because he was known by a number of Dallas police officers. As he shot Oswald, Ruby shouted, "You killed my president, you rat!"(Uschan 98-99).
