Tensions: JFK Assassination

John F. Kennedy, the youngest of all the U.S's presidents so far, was assassinated on November 22, 1963. He was visiting Dallas, Texas and was in a sort of parade. We believe he was shot at by Lee Harvey Oswald. As the parade progressed through town, Lee positioned himself so that he was not seen. It only took him one precise shot at the president to kill him. Oswald was arrested and taken to a police station. On the way there, he was shot and killed by an anonymous person. Lee never had a trial or a sentence for jail. We never found out if it was truly him who killed the president. This struck fear into peoples hearts and created a major tension.
