Why did Jack Ruby killed lee harvey oswald?

Ruby himself claimed that he did it to spare Jackie pain and suffering.

Others have suggested that Ruby acted out of anger or rage, as has occurred in many cases of 'vigilante justice' even in modern times.

Still others suggest that Ruby was part of a conspiracy, one that included killing President Kennedy and then killing his apparent assassin. Under that theory, Oswald's claim that he was a 'patsy' would be true, although ample evidence exists that Oswald was indeed guilty, including his separate murder of Dallas policeman J. D. Tippit.

Where was Lee Harvey Oswald arrested?

Lee Harvey Oswald was arrested at the Dallas theater after being dropped off by a light coloured station wagon with a gun rack later spotted at a service station on Davis street close to the theater,Deputy sheriff Roger Craig spotted Lee Harvey Oswald getting into the Nash on Dealey Plaza driven by Jack Ruby or Mac Wallace ,Lee arrived at the theater about 1300pm before Harvey Lee Oswald left his rooming house and officer Tippet was shot. Lee Harvey oswald was up stairs when Harvey entered the building followed later by the Dallas police,Harvey was arrested and escorted out of the front and and Lee the rear exit and hurried away after giving proof of his identy,Lee was later spotted out side a Mexican restaurant nearby in a red sports car. Both Oswalds are now dead and there bodies in the same grave in Rose Hill if iam wrong lets have some DNA

Please understand the above is a joke, based on your calling Lee Harvey Oswald, "Harvey Lee Oswald". He is pretending there were two Oswalds running around (I am pretty sure Oswald's mother and brother Robert would have noticed another Oswald!). There is evidence of LHO taking a bus and a taxi, IIRC, but nothing about station wagons, or any proof that Ruby or Wallace did any such thing, or were in a position to. And when Oswald was exhumed, there was only one body found, of course.

So to answer your real question with a real answer... he was arrested at the Texas Theater in Dallas.

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.

Now That President Obama Has Joined The Fair Play For Cuba Committee When He Pardon Lee Harvey Oswald?

Another user wrote: "President Obama has always questioned the Kennedy era sanctions against Cuba. Cuba provided its citizens free healthcare long before the President made that available in the USA." It should also be noted that a number of people have questioned the sanctions against Cuba, especially in the past decade: surveys of public opinion show that younger people (who were not raised with the anger about the takeover of Cuba by Fidel Castro) especially see no value in the sanctions. Other assertions that President Obama is eager to pardon Oswald, or that he doubts the results of the House Select Committee on Assassinations, are false.
