Assassination of John F. Kennedy

John F. Kennedy, the 35th president of the United States, was assassinated on
Friday, November 22, 1963, at 12:30 p.m. CST in Dallas, Texas, while riding in a
presidential motorcade through Dealey Plaza.[1] Kennedy was in the vehicle with his wife
Jacqueline, Texas Governor John Connally, and Connally’s wife Nellie when he was fatally
shot from the nearby Texas School Book Depository by Lee Harvey Oswald, a former US
Marine. Governor Connally was seriously wounded in the attack. The motorcade rushed to
Parkland Memorial Hospital, where Kennedy was pronounced dead about 30 minutes
after the shooting; Connally recovered.
About 70 minutes after Kennedy and Connally were shot, Oswald was arrested by
the Dallas Police Department and charged under Texas state law with the murders of
Kennedy and of J. D. Tippit, a Dallas police officer. At 11:21 a.m. on November 24, 1963, as
live television cameras covered Oswald being moved through the basement of Dallas
Police Headquarters, he was fatally shot by Dallas nightclub operator Jack Ruby. Like
Kennedy, Oswald was also taken to Parkland Memorial Hospital, where he soon died.
Ruby was convicted of Oswald’s murder, though it was later overturned on appeal, and
Ruby died in prison in 1967 while awaiting a new trial.
After a 10-month investigation, the Warren Commission concluded that Oswald
assassinated Kennedy, that Oswald had acted entirely alone, and that Ruby had acted
alone in killing Oswald.[2] Kennedy was the eighth and most recent US president to die in
office, and the fourth (following Lincoln, Garfield, and McKinley) to be assassinated. Vice
President Lyndon B. Johnson automatically became president upon Kennedy’s death.
In its 1979 report, the United States House Select Committee on Assassinations (HSCA)
agreed with the Warren Commission that Oswald’s three rifle shots caused the injuries
that Kennedy and Connally sustained. After analysis of a dictabelt audio recording the
HSCA concluded that Kennedy was likely “assassinated as a result of a conspiracy”.[4] The
committee could not identify a second gunman or group involved in the possible
conspiracy, although the HSCA concluded that analysis pointed to the existence of an
additional gunshot and “a high probability that two gunmen fired at [the] President”.
The U.S. Justice Department concluded active investigations and stated “that no
persuasive evidence can be identified to support the theory of a conspiracy” in the
assassination.[5] However, Kennedy’s assassination is still the subject of widespread
debate and has spawned numerous conspiracy theories and alternative scenarios.

Pembunuhan John F. Kennedy

John F. Kennedy, presiden Amerika Serikat ke-35, dibunuh pada hari Jumat, 22 November
1963, pukul 12:30. CST di Dallas, Texas, saat mengendarai iring-iringan kepresidenan
melalui Dealey Plaza.[1] Kennedy berada di dalam kendaraan bersama istrinya Jacqueline,
Gubernur Texas John Connally, dan istri Connally Nellie ketika dia ditembak mati dari
Penyimpanan Buku Sekolah Texas terdekat oleh Lee Harvey Oswald, mantan Marinir AS.
Gubernur Connally terluka parah dalam serangan itu. Iring-iringan mobil bergegas ke
Parkland Memorial Hospital, di mana Kennedy dinyatakan meninggal sekitar 30 menit
setelah penembakan; Connal pulih.
Sekitar 70 menit setelah Kennedy dan Connally ditembak, Oswald ditangkap oleh
Departemen Kepolisian Dallas dan didakwa berdasarkan undang-undang negara bagian
Texas dengan pembunuhan Kennedy dan J. D. Tippit, seorang perwira polisi Dallas. Pada
pukul 11:21 pada tanggal 24 November 1963, ketika kamera televisi langsung menutupi
Oswald yang dipindahkan melalui ruang bawah tanah Markas Besar Polisi Dallas, dia
ditembak mati oleh operator klub malam Dallas Jack Ruby. Seperti Kennedy, Oswald juga
dibawa ke Parkland Memorial Hospital, di mana ia segera meninggal. Ruby dihukum
karena pembunuhan Oswald, meskipun kemudian dibatalkan di tingkat banding, dan
Ruby meninggal di penjara pada tahun 1967 sambil menunggu persidangan baru.
Setelah penyelidikan selama 10 bulan, Komisi Warren menyimpulkan bahwa Oswald
membunuh Kennedy, bahwa Oswald telah bertindak sepenuhnya sendirian, dan bahwa
Ruby telah bertindak sendiri dalam membunuh Oswald. Kennedy adalah presiden AS
kedelapan dan terakhir yang meninggal saat menjabat, dan yang keempat (setelah
Lincoln, Garfield, dan McKinley) yang dibunuh. Wakil Presiden Lyndon B. Johnson secara
otomatis menjadi presiden setelah kematian Kennedy.
Dalam laporannya tahun 1979, Komite Pemilihan Rumah Amerika Serikat untuk
Pembunuhan (HSCA) setuju dengan Komisi Warren bahwa tiga tembakan senapan Oswald
menyebabkan cedera yang diderita Kennedy dan Connally. Setelah analisis rekaman audio
dictabelt, HSCA menyimpulkan bahwa Kennedy kemungkinan besar “dibunuh sebagai
akibat dari konspirasi”.[4] Komite tidak dapat mengidentifikasi pria bersenjata atau
kelompok kedua yang terlibat dalam kemungkinan konspirasi, meskipun HSCA
menyimpulkan bahwa analisis menunjukkan adanya tembakan tambahan dan
“kemungkinan besar bahwa dua pria bersenjata menembaki Presiden”
Departemen Kehakiman AS menyimpulkan penyelidikan aktif dan menyatakan “bahwa
tidak ada bukti persuasif yang dapat diidentifikasi untuk mendukung teori konspirasi”
dalam pembunuhan tersebut.[5] Namun, pembunuhan Kennedy masih menjadi bahan
perdebatan luas dan telah melahirkan banyak teori konspirasi dan skenario alternatif.
