Oswald Shot by Ruby
Photograph by Robert H. Jackson
Lee Harvey Oswald was, according to four US government investigations, the assassin of US President John F. Kennedy. On November 22, 1963, Oswald was arrested for killing Kennedy and Dallas Texas policeman J. D. Tippit earlier that day. Oswald claimed he was a "patsy" and denied involvement. Two days later, Oswald was shot to death by Jack Ruby on live television while in police custody.
Photographer peder Robert H. Jackson of Dallas Times-Herald won the 1964 Pulitzer Prize for Photography for this photograph of Jack Ruby shooting Lee Harvey Oswald, to whom Dallas detective Jim Leavelle (to the left of Oswald, wearing the light hat) was handcuffed.
After his death, he was determined to be the assassin by the Warren Commission and three other formal federal investigations. Despite multiple investigations, scientific testing, and re-creations of the circumstances of Kennedy's death, many people have doubts about the conclusions of these inquiries.

No, no, he wasn't shot. You see, he was sticking (if you look real hard) a chocolate bar into his side. He wanted to eat him.
