20 feet away when it happened.
:44:03
Tell us exactly what you saw, sir.
:44:06
He was coming down the street.
:44:08
My 5-year-old and myself
were by ourselves on Palmer Street.

:44:12
I waved, and the m...
:44:14
The man...
:44:16
That's all right.
:44:18
Go ahead.
:44:19
As he was waving, a shot rang out.
:44:22
He slumped down.
:44:23
His wife reached up toward him.
:44:25
He was slumping down
:44:27
and the second shot went off
and knocked him down.

:44:31
Two shots?
:44:32
Did you see who...
:44:33
I did not see the man who did it.
:44:34
I'm sorry.
:44:38
I can't help more, but I won't forget.
:44:42
Here is a flash
from the Associated Press.

:44:44
Dateline: Dallas.
:44:46
Two priests who were
with the President say

:44:49
he is dead of bullet wounds.
:44:50
There is no confirmation.
:44:52
This is what we have on a flash basis
from the Associated Press.

:44:56
We have two men...
:44:59
who administered the last rites
of the Catholic Church to the President

:45:02
President Kennedy
has been assassinated. It's official.

:45:06
The President is dead.
:45:09
Women here in shock. Some have fainted.
:45:12
Two Secret Servicemen,
standing by the Emergency Room

:45:15
tears streaming down their faces.
:45:18
There's only one word to describe
the picture here and that's grief.

:45:25
It's official. It just came in:
:45:28
The President
of the United States is dead.

:45:33
It feels like there isn't a single
adult left on the entire planet.

:45:43
Oh, God, what are you doing?
:45:46
How could you let this happen?
:45:53
I miss my father.
:45:55
Is he watching television?
:45:58
Maybe he's in Brazil
and doesn't know what's happened.
