Lee Harvey Oswald

Lee Harvey Oswald was a sniper who assassinated U.S. President John F. Kennedy. He was arrested after murdering a police officer an hour later. Two days later, he was murdered by Jack Ruby.

Background
Oswald was born in New Orleans, Louisiana on October 18, 1939, to Robert Edward Lee Oswald, Sr. and Marguerite Frances Claverie; Robert Sr. would die of a heart attack two months prior to Lee's birth.

Shootings
On November 22, 1963, Oswald shot President John F. Kennedy as he traveled through Dallas in his presidential convertible car. In six seconds, Oswald fired three shots with an Italian bolt action rifle from at least 250 feet. Missing with the first shot, he shot Kennedy through the shot, then hitting him in the head.

As Oswald made for his escape, he was confronted by Police Officer J.D. Tippit. Oswald pulled out a revolver and shot Tippit to death. He was soon arrested for the murder of Tippit, and later charged for assassinating Kennedy.

Two days after the shootings, as Oswald was being led to a county jail, he was shot and killed by mob gangster-wanna Jack Ruby.

Modus Operandi
Oswald used an Italian Carcano M91/38 bolt-action rifle to kill President Kennedy. When he killed Dallas Patrolman J.D. Tippit, he used a revolver.
