Frame 150 from the Zapruder film. Kennedy's limousine has just turned onto Elm Street, moments before the first shot.

Kennedy's motorcade passed through Dealey Plaza in Dallas, Texas, on November 22, 1963.

It famously captured the fatal head shot that struck President Kennedy as his limousine passed almost directly in front of Zapruder and Sitzman's position, 65 feet (20 m) from the center of Elm Street.
