Pandemonium reigned in downtown Dallas on the afternoon of November 22, 1963. An assassin's bullet had murdered President John Fitzgerald Kennedy. Within an hour, police had arrested their lead suspect Lee Harvey Oswald, a former Marine and accomplished sharpshooter. On Sunday morning, November 24, with TV cameras in place, and NBC airing it live, Oswald was led through the department's basement for transport to the county jail. And, for the first time, the nation watched an historic national news event - as it happened.Written by Joe Garner and Brian WilliamsContributors:Gary DeLaune, formally a reporter for KLIF Radio DallasBill Lord, formerly a producer for ABC NewsIke Pappas, formerly a reporter for WNEW Radio New YorkBob Huffaker, formerly a reporter for KRLD Radio and television and the CBS affiliate in DallasFred Rheinstein, formerly the field director for NBC NewsChad Hagan, formerly a producer for NBC NewsHomer Vinso, formerly a cameraman for NBC NewsSee Privacy Policy at <a href="https://art19.com/privacy" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://art19.com/privacy</a> and California Privacy Notice at <a href="https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info</a>.
