Kennedy and Connally

As shown in the picture to the left it appears Connally was positioned straight in front of Kennedy and was sitting at the same height as Kennedy. (Warner, 2009)

Background

At 12:30 p.m. on Novemeber 22, 1963 President John F. Kennedy is assinated while driving through Dealey Plaza in downtown Dallas, Texas. Gun fire suddenly errupted in Dealey Plaza. President Kennedy was struck in the right collar bone and in the neck while Governor Connally was also hit in the chest. Connally's bullet shattered, projecting bullet fragment into his right hand and left leg. As seen in the Zapruder Film Kennedy's head appeared to have moved back and to the left after being shot in the neck. After the shots were fired the car went to Parkland Memorial Hospital, once arriving little could be done for the President. Connally was left with a wound to the chest, hand, and leg but would soon recover. ("Death of the President", n.d.)
