November 22, 2019: Fifty-six (56) years ago today, President John F. Kennedy was assassinated in Dallas, Texas. Texas Governor John Connally was shot and wounded in the attack. Shortly afterward, Patrolman J. D. Tippit was murdered.[1]
Lee Harvey Oswald was arrested and charged with the assassination. Two days later, while being transferred to another jail, Oswald was shot and killed on national television by nightclub owner Jack Ruby. A few years later, Ruby died in prison.[2] The events of those days 56 years ago became the source of ongoing conspiracy theories.
