历史上的今天-Today in History 2013-11-22

 I appreciate your being here this morning, Mrs. Kennedy is organizing herself. It takes longer, but of course she looks better than we do when she does it. But we appreciate your welcome. This city's been a great western city.

We understand there's been a shooting, the presidential car coming up now. We know it's the presidential car. I can see Mrs. Kennedy's pink suit. There is a secret service man spread eagle over the top of the car. We understand governor¹ and Mrs. Connally are in the car with president and Mrs. Kennedy. We can't see who has been hit, if anybody has been hit, but apparently² something is wrong, and something is terribly wrong. I'm behind the motorcade and as you probably notice?  They are going to the Parkland hospital.

Governor Connally was shot in the upper left chest. And the first unconfirmed reports say the president was hit in the head.

There is only one word to describe the picture here and that's grief³, and much of it. It's official, as if just a few moments ago, the president of the United States is dead.

We're gonna detect⁴ the two hostel⁵ apart storey where they are earlier being completely roped off by Dallas Police K9 Unit Key at the scene.

They have little doubt the 24-year-old Lee Oswald of Dallas is the man who shot and killed Dallas police officer J. D. Tippet, shortly after President Kennedy was shot to death this afternoon.

People have given me a hearing without legal representation⁶ or anything. I didn't shoot anybody not to.

This is a sad time for all people. We have suffered a loss that cannot be weighed. For me, it is a deep personal tragedy. I know that the world shares the sorrow that Mrs. Kennedy and her family bear. I will do my best, that isall I can do, I ask for your help and God's.
