Kennedy and his wife arrived in Dallas for a fundraising event. Kennedy ordered the removal of the car’s protective bubble since it was a sunny day, and he wanted to see the crowd of people who gathered around the streets to greet Kennedy. Kennedy was shot once in the upper back, once on his head. He was carried to the Parkland Memorial Hospital but was announced dead at 1 pm, the same day. He had only been in Dallas for less than an hour. Lee Harvey Oswald was arrested a little later in the back of a movie theatre. Vice president Lyndon B.Johnson was sworn in as the 36th President of the United States.
