November 22, 1963.

If you believe, as many do, that the third shot fired (which many believe struck President Kennedy in the head) killed him on impact (or shortly thereafter), then the time was about 12:30pm (as verified by the Warren Commission report, pages 48-49. The report does not say for certain that the third shot killed the President). However the official time given on that day (as reported famously by Walter Cronkite) was 1:00pm Central Standard Time ("some 38 minutes ago"). The time discrepancy has been attributed by some to the time allowed to give the President the Catholic last rites before his death.
