Summary

[edit]
Media data and Non-free use rationale
Description Photograph of the in-progress assassination of President John F. Kennedy by Associated Press photographer James W. "Ike" Altgens. This is Altgens' Dealey Plaza photograph no. 6, and shows the presidential limousine traveling along westbound Elm Street west of Houston Street. Altgens later testified that this photograph was made almost simultaneous to (slightly after) the first gunshot. Directly behind the limousine from this camera angle is the main (Elm Street) entrance to the Texas School Book Depository (TSBD); many people have argued that Lee Harvey Oswald stands in the doorway, while official investigations identified the man as depository employee Billy Lovelady.

Use in article (WP:NFCC#7) Ike Altgens
Purpose of use in article (WP:NFCC#8) Illustrative of the controversy surrounding this image and discussed within the article. Specifically, this is the one and only image that came under scrutiny due to its depiction of the main entrance of the TSBD relative to the presidential limousine at the time of the first gunshot, as related by Altgens. (All other known still or motion pictures were aimed elsewhere or made significantly later.) Proper discussion of the man in the doorway who was "thought to resemble Lee Harvey Oswald" would be difficult if not impossible without visual depiction of the location of the subject.
