Kennedy was rushed to Parkland memorial Hospital where efforts to revive him failed. John F. Kennedy was announced dead at 1:00pm. Chief Justice Earl Warren concluded that a man named Lee Oswald, a former U.S. marine, shot President Kennedy. After shooting Kennedy he fled to a theatre and denied shooting Kennedy.
