What was Lee Harvey Oswald charged with after killing John F. Kennedy?
No, but he was arraigned for his murder of JFK, and Officer Tippet. After he was already dead, it was learned that he had also tried to shoot a general who lived in Dallas, but missed. Given the vast amount of evidence, both physical, witnesses, and circumstantial, there is no real doubt of his guilt, especially since there has never been any physical evidence of anyone else being involved... and innocent men don't murder police officers during a getaway.
Did Lee Harvey Oswald kill Officer Tippit?
Yes, within hours of the Kennedy assassination he killed a police officer called J. D. Tippit. He was soon arrested for the shooting and quickly suspected of being involved in the murder of President Kennedy.
What did the government appointed group that investigated John f. Kennedys death conclude about Lee Harvey Oswald?
Its 888-page final report was presented to President Johnson on September 24, 1964, and made public three days later. It concluded that Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone in the killing of Kennedy and the wounding of Texas Governor John Connally, and that Jack Ruby acted alone in the murder of Oswald. The Commission's findings have since proven controversial and been both challenged and supported by later studies.
What happened to Lee Harvey Oswald after he got arrested?

Was Lee Harvey Oswald the only gunman to shoot JFK?
While I know that I'm just asking for it from the conspiracy theorists out there, and while I admit that the government GROSSLY mishandled the whole affair and there may very well have been a variety of cover-ups in regards to how the whole thing went down, there is sufficient physical evidence (through modern ballistics both in simulators and real-life duplications sans murder) that we can 100% say that Oswald was the only shooter. Why he did it and who (if anyone) put him up to it can still be debated. At this time the most likely explanation is that Oswald, who had an obsession about being famous and historical, killed Kennedy just to get noticed. It worked, possibly the first thing he had ever done right.
