Sixty years ago, on November 22, 1963, President John F. Kennedy was assassinated in Dallas.
The tragic event jarred the nation and fueled a multitude of conspiracy theories about whether Kennedy was killed by a single gunman acting alone in the Texas School Book Depository.
Here are some images from that fateful day as it unfolded.
