The First Shot

History
11
Near this vantage point, a photo captured the presidential limousine approaching what would later be called the grassy knoll at about the time investigators believe the first shot was fired. The alleged assassin's window was at the far right corner of the sixth floor of the building known in 1963 as the Texas School Book Depository. In the photo, the distance from that window to the president was about 165 feet.
