Killing Kennedy Page #6

carrying the President

of the United States.

You gonna watch the parade?

Yeah. I want to

see the President.

There's Mrs. Kennedy,

and the crowd yells.

And the President

of the United States.

The President, now

partially obscured behind his wife...

Yes, she is.

She's beautiful.

Mrs. Kennedy coming along

behind him, grinning ah the while.

Boy, ain't you coming downstairs?

It's lunchtime.

No, sir.

The President now

in with the First Lady,

and the motorcade

begins to move out.

It cleared up.

Should be here pretty soon now.

Here comes the first

car with Police Chief Jess Curry

and Sheriff Bill Decker.

And here is the President

of the United States.

And what a crowd and what a

tremendous welcome he's getting now.

Here they come!

We can...

And there's Jackie.

She's getting just

as big a welcome.

And the crowd is

absolutely going wild.

This is a friendly crowd

in downtown Dallas

as the President and

the First Lady pass by.

There are people absolutely looking from

every window here in downtown Dallas.

It was a wonderful welcome

as the President

and Jacqueline Kennedy

passed our point.

Here they come!

The President of the United States.

And what a crowd and what a

tremendous welcome he's getting now.

We can... And there's Jackie.

She's getting just

as big a welcome.

And the crowd is

absolutely going wild.

This is a friendly crowd

in downtown Dallas

as the President and the

First Lady pass by.

The shots came from the roof.

Clear the way!

Hold it!

Hold it right there!

You know this man?

Yeah, he works here.

I saw him right up there,

one window from the top.

- He had a rifle in the window.

- Slow down. Can you describe him?

White. 5'10", I guess.

160, 170 pounds.

How old?

Thirty, I'd say.

Good afternoon,

ladies and gentlemen.

You'll excuse the fact

that I'm out of breath,

but about 10 or 15 minutes ago,

a tragic thing, from all

indications at this point,

has happened in

the city of Dallas.

Mrs. Kennedy.

Mrs. Kennedy, please let

us help the President.

You know he's dead.

Leave me alone.

Mrs. Kennedy.

Here.

I heard three loud

shots, seemingly from right over my head.

Reports are in.

We now have heard

from two witnesses

who saw a man in the window of the

building above the route holding a gun.

Yeah, this is Bobby.

Bobby, this is Director Hoover.

The President has been shot.

Here is a bulletin from CBS News.

In Dallas, Texas,

three shots were fired at President

Kennedy's motorcade in downtown Dallas.

The first reports say that President

Kennedy has been seriously wounded

by this shooting.

Repeating, President Kennedy

has been shot

by a would-be assassin

in Dallas, Texas.

Governor Connally has been

taken upstairs for surgery.

Well, how's the President?

It looks bad.

He's still...

Somehow he's still breathing.

The doctors are with him.

I'm in your hands, Kenny.

What should I do?

I...

I'll let you know as soon as

I hear about the President.

Taxi!

500 North Beckley.

What the hell?

I wonder what all the uproar is.

I want to be with my husband.

I'm sorry, Mrs. Kennedy.

I want to be with my husband.

You can't.

The doctors are doing

everything they can.

I'm going to get into that room.

No...

The suspect in the

shooting at Elm and Houston

is reported to be

an unknown white male,

approximately 30, slender build,

height, 5'10", weight 165 pounds.

The First Lady is in the emergency

room with the President.

The crowd outside is quiet

and waiting for some word

of the condition of the President.

You sure are in a hurry.

Eternal rest grant unto him

and let perpetual light

shine upon him.

May he rest in peace.

Amen.

Captain Fritz,

I've taken a head count.

We have one employee missing.

His name is Lee Harvey Oswald.

They want to

perform an autopsy.

I'm not leaving without him, Kenny.

We have to take him home.

I know.

They can't have him.

I'm taking my husband

home with me.

Okay, we'll call a mortuary.

We'll get a casket.

We can get someone to bring you a

change of clothes from the plane.

No. No.

I want them to see

what they've done to Jack.

He's gone.

Dear God.

We need to get you out of here.

What about Mrs. Kennedy?

She won't leave the President.

I won't leave without

Mrs. Kennedy.

I'll take her back

with me on the plane.

Mr. President,

can we release the

news to the press?

No, Id better get back to the plane

before you announce it.

From Dallas, Texas,

the flash apparently official,

President Kennedy died at 1:00 p.m.

Central Standard Time

some 38 minutes ago.

Vice President Johnson

has left the hospital.

Presumably, he will be taking

the oath of office shortly

and become the 36th President

of the United States.

The suspect in the

shooting at Elm and Houston

is supposed to be

an unknown white male,

approximately 30, 165 pounds...

Excuse me.

Come up to the car please.

I'm sorry? Step over to

the car please, sir.

Look, I'm just walking.

Sir, right now! I need

you to step to the car.

Thank you, sir.

Where you headed?

I'm just walking through

the neighborhood. That's all.

What's your name?

Alik Adell.

Can I see your hands, please?

All right, sir. I'm gonna need you

to step to the front of the car.

Right here. Sir, I need

to see your hands.

I need to see your

hands, sir, right now.

Sir, I need...

- Hello. Police operator?

- Who is this?

There's been a shooting. There's

been a shooting. An officer's been shot.

What's your location?

Where's the officer?

10th Street between

Marsalis and Beckley.

It's a police officer.

Somebody shot him.

Excuse me, sir. Sir!

Hosty. Jim, they think the

shooter is Lee Oswald.

Did you hear that?

Hey, hey! Quiet down, will you?

No, I didn't hear that. What's the name?

Lee Oswald.

This is it. It's all over now.

He's got a gun!

Hold him down. Hold him

down. Secure him!

I'm not resisting.

Got him?

I am not resisting arrest.

All right, everyone.

Listen up. Listen up.

I need somebody to

get a search warrant,

go out to this address and

pick up a man named Oswald.

Lee Oswald?

That's the bastard

that shot Officer Tippit.

What?

Captain, I'll save you the trip.

We've got him right next door.

There he sits.

They're saying

I shot a police officer.

What's your name?

I didn't shoot anyone.

Where do you work?

All I did was

bring a gun into a theater.

That's all.

I asked you where you work.

And this...

This is what your police force did to me.

Sir?

This is Special Agent

James Hosty of the FBI.

I know who you are.

You're the man that's

been accosting my wife.

You leave her alone, you son of a b*tch.

Hey, hey. Hold on.

I asked her some

questions is all.

You have any questions,

you can ask me.

Understand?

Leave her alone. Ask me.

Matter of fact, I have a

lot of questions for you.

Let's begin with Mexico City.

I don't know what you're talking

about. I'm done talking to him.

FBI's the reason I've lost
