JFK in North Texas
President John F. Kennedy was assassinated on Nov. 22, 1963 in Dallas. Here is a group of Star-Telegram stories looking back on that day in history.
On Nov. 22, 1963, President John F. Kennedy and first lady Jacqueline Kennedy flew from Fort Worth, where they had appeared at a chamber breakfast, to Dallas Love Field, where they got into a motorcade for a parade through downtown.
These photos were taken by Fort Worth Star-Telegram photographers covering the Kennedys’ visit and the aftermath of the assassination in Dealey Plaza.
Lee Harvey Oswald, who shot Kennedy, was killed by Jack Ruby two days later and buried on Nov. 25. Reporters had to serve as pallbearers.
The photos below also show scenes from inside the sixth floor of the Texas School Book Depository and from outside Parkland Hospital, where Kennedy was rushed.
