6. John F. Kennedy

This is probably one of the most popular events in the entire history of America, and for good reason. Kennedy was visiting Dallas in November 1963 with First Lady Jacqueline Kennedy when he was shot and killed by a covert assassin carrying a powerful rifle. As his motorcade passed past Dealey Plaza in downtown Dallas, gunfire broke out.

He was shot in the head and passed away shortly after being taken to Parkland Memorial Hospital. President Lyndon B. Johnson took over as his successor after being sworn in in an Air Force One conference room. He’s the only leader of the country to take the oath of office on an airplane.

A few hours after the assassination, the police discovered Lee Harvey Oswald’s sniper’s vantage point in a nearby building, the Texas School Book Depository. Two days later, Jack Ruby, the proprietor of a Dallas nightclub, stormed forward and fatally shot Oswald as he was being transported from police headquarters to the county prison.

  1. Still not sure it was real sorry but to many questions about what happened both before , during and after, including if dDT had not moved possibly no one would have gotten hurt , since the shooter was a registered Republican and died right away finding out mire is highly improbable and doubt Trhump cares since has done nothing but use it as a selling point for his MAGA

    The asassination of President John F. Kennedy was a shocker in many ways but so shocking on the other hand.
