Here is a bulletin from CBS News.

In Dallas, Texas, three shots were fired at President Kennedy's motorcade in downtown Dallas.

The first reports say that President Kennedy has been seriously wounded by this shooting.

In Dallas, Texas this morning, President Kennedy and Governor Connolly of Texas shot as their motorcade proceeded from Dallas

to downtown Dallas where the president was scheduled to make a speech.

The assassin perhaps succeeded where it is that he did in killing President Kennedy.

The president taken to Parkland Hospital where a moment ago two priests left the

room and said they understood the president was dead.

Our own reporter in Dallas also says that he has information that the president is dead.

This official word has not come, however, from Parkland Hospital as yet.

A secret service man was also killed in the fuselage of shots that came apparently from a second story window.

Now from Washington, government sources say that President Kennedy is dead.

Those are government sources, still not an official announcement,

but government sources in Washington, the priests who left the emergency room,

our correspondent Dan rather in Dallas, say that this is the information that the president is dead.

A television newsman, Howelloff, said that he looked up just after the shot was fired

and saw a rifle being withdrawn from a fifth or sixth floor window of a nearby building.

He said a policeman fell to the ground, pulled his pistol and yelled,

get down, probably to attempt to return the shots.

From Dallas, Texas, the Flash apparently official President Kennedy died at 1 p.m. Central Standard Time. Two o'clock Eastern Standard

time some 38 minutes ago. Vice President Lyndon Johnson has left the hospital in Dallas, but we do not know to where he has proceeded.

Presumably he will be taking the oath of office shortly
