Yes, Lee Harvey Oswald did kill Officer Tippit. About an hour after he killed John F. Kennedy, Officer Tippit approached Oswald because he saw that Oswald matched the description of the man they were looking for. As Tippit got out of his car, Oswald shot him four times and killed him.

Dallas police oficer J. D. Tippit (1924-1963) was shot and killed by Oswald after he fled the assassination scene. There were several witnesses to the killing, which apparently occurred after Tippit thought Oswald looked like a reported suspect in the shooting.

A memorial to Tippit was dedicated 49 years later, in November, 2012.

What gun did Harvey Oswald used to kill the president?

Lee Harvey Oswald used a 6.5 x 52 mm Italian Carcano M91/38 bolt-action rifle, serial number C2766. The rifle was equipped with a 4x Hollywood brand scope. The military surplus rifle and scope were sold through Klein's Sporting Goods Company by mail order. Alternate theories The Kennedy assassination is one of the most debated events of the 20th century. There are many alternate theories as to the exact circumstances of the assassination. Some hold that Oswald was not the real shooter, in which case he did not use any rifle. There is also some controversy as to which exact Carcano rifle was used since there is a 36" and a 40" version and Oswald may have owned both. Another alternate theory is that the actual rifle found in the book repository was a Mauser, but the Carcano was substituted to frame Oswald.


Who killed Lee Harvey Oswald?

AnswerTo this day there is still an argument as to whether he killed Kennedy alone or was with a group. Nobody knows if anybody sent him because two days after his arrest he was shot by Jack Ruby when he was being moved to the County Jail. Fun Fact: Did you know that the gun that killed Kennedy was bought for around 12 dollars.AnswerTheories that Oswald did not act alone don't really hold up to investigation. Oswald was a man who never fit in; no matter what he tried, he always ended up alienating himself from the "group". The likelihood that he could cooperate or coordinate this activity with another person or persons is very remote. He had the training, the skill, and the means to carry it out all by himself. Most of all, after all of his failures, he had the motivation to make this grand gesture to show the world that he had what it takes.
