Around 1:30 that afternoon, police had arrested Lee Harvey Oswald. Oswald was recently hired at the Texas School Book Depository, which was across the street from where the assassination took place. He was being held for the murders of Kennedy and the fatal shooting of Patrolman J. D. Tippit on a Dallas street. Tip pit had confronted Oswald about why he had looked so suspicious as he was running through a neighborhood frantically. Oswald opened fire and killed Tippit. On Sunday morning, November 24, Oswald was scheduled to be transferred from police headquarters to the county jail. Viewers across America watching the live television coverage suddenly saw a man aim a pistol and fire at point blank range. The assailant was identified as Jack Ruby, a local nightclub owner. Oswald died two hours later at Parkland Hospital
