Oswald was arrested, but not for the assassination of the President. On November 22, 1963, about 45 minutes after the shooting at Dealey Plaza, Oswald had been stopped by Dallas police officer J.D. Tippit for questioning. He shot and killed the officer at point blank range. Shortly thereafter, Oswald was arrested as the suspect in the shooting of the police officer. He was in possession of a .38 caliber revolver (which ballistics later matched to the bullet that killed Officer Tippit). When Oswald was brought to the police station, a group of employees of the Texas School Book Depository were there giving their statements as witnesses to the shooting in Dealey Plaza. They knew Oswald and pointed him out to police. Following up information from these witnesses, Oswald was formally charged with assassinating President Kennedy. Oswald was held for two days at Dallas Police Headquarters, at which time he was to be transported to the jail. As they were leaving police headquarters on November 24, Oswald was shot by Jack Ruby. Oswald never made it to the jail.
