JFK BLOWN AWAY

JFK BLOWN AWAY

John Fitzgerald Kennedy was born into a wealthy Irish Catholic family with ties to the political world.  He became involved in politics early on in his career, and went on to become the youngest president of the United States. He was the thirty-fifth president of the United States of America and was sworn in as president in 1961. He was one of the most loved presidents because of his good looks and attractive personality. 

JFK was assassinated on November 22, 1963 in his open top car by a gunman in Dallas, Texas. He was shot as he and his presidential convoy was driving from the Dallas airport to the city centre. Three shots were fired, one hitting him in the head and the other in the throat, but he was not killed instantly. Kennedy was rushed to hospital where he died shortly after admittance. Others, as well as Kennedy, were also shot. 

Kennedy was said to be shot by Lee Harvey Oswald, but many conspiracy theories and speculations have arisen since the shooting, and no one has ever been certain what really happened on that day in 1963.
