Kennedy assassination timeline
11:37 a.m.: Kennedy arrives at Dallas Love Field from Fort Worth. He and the first lady, Jackie, are accompanied by Vice President Lyndon Johnson and his wife, Lady Bird. They have come to Dallas as part of a scheduled two-day Texas tour in preparation for the 1964 presidential campaign. An estimated 200,000 Dallas residents greet the president's motorcade as it passes through downtown on the way to a sold-out luncheon for 2,600 at the Dallas Trade Mart.
12:30 p.m.: Kennedy is fatally shot and Texas Gov. John Connally seriously wounded as the open limousine in which they are riding moves west on Elm Street through Dealey Plaza, on the western edge of downtown Dallas.
12:32 p.m.: Order clerk Lee Harvey Oswald is reportedly seen in the second-floor lunchroom of the Texas School Book Depository, a textbook distribution building facing the plaza. About 35 minutes before the president's motorcade passed, Oswald had been observed on the sixth floor.
1 p.m.: The president is pronounced dead at Parkland Memorial Hospital.
1:18 p.m.: Police learn that Dallas patrolman J.D. Tippit has been shot in the Oak Cliff section of the city south of downtown.
1:50 p.m.: Oswald is arrested at the Texas Theatre after a witness who saw him at the Tippit shooting leads police there. Police soon link him to the Tippit murder and Kennedy assassination.
2:38 p.m.: Johnson sworn in as president aboard Air Force One, with Jackie Kennedy at his side.
