[edit] Summary

In-progress photograph of the assassination of President John F. Kennedy by Associated Press photographer James "Ike" Altgens. Kennedy is seen through the windshield (behind the rear-view mirror) with his hands near his throat, and with Jackie Kennedy's gloved hand on his left arm. Directly behind the limousine from this angle is the main entrance to the Texas School Book Depository; many people believe Lee Harvey Oswald stands there, while investigations identified him as Depository employee Billy Lovelady.
