JFK Assassination - Broadcast from Parkland Hospital

Reporters were unsure of the President's condition at Parkland Hospital as they tried to keep the public informed of events.  When someone saw a Secret Service agent hit the back of a car with his fist, it became very clear that JFK's condition was serious.

This audio clip is typical of broadcasts made before the President's death was announced.
