By MediaiteJun 1st, 2021, 12:24 pm It has been about 57 years since the United States of America was shocked to the core by the news that the 35th President, John F. Kennedy, had been assassinated in Dallas, Texas. The event marred November 22, 1963 as a day of infamy for the nation. It was only two days later that Americans were shocked again when the president’s killer was killed himself — and it was all caught on live TV. Jack Ruby, a nightclub owner with ties to the criminal underworld, was among the crowd that gathered at Dallas Police Headquarters when Lee Harvey Oswald was set to be transported to a more secure facility. As Oswald was being escorted through the corridor where the crowd was assembled, Ruby stepped out in front with a concealed weapon and fatally shot the accused presidential assassin.
