Were there two shooters or just one? That is the questions many people are asking. The president was assassinated on November 22, 1963 when traveling in a convertable with the governer and their wives in a parade in Dallas. Lee Harvey Oswald was charged with the murder of John Kennedy on November 24, 1963. Oswald was shot and killed while being transferred from the dallas police department to the county jail by a nightclub owner named Jack Ruby. About 75 percent of Americans think there were more than one shooter, and the other 25 percent think it was only Lee Harvey Oswald. I dont think they will ever prove what really happened. I dont really see what the big deal is since jfk and oswald are both dead and even if there was another shooter he is probably dead too.
