An Oft-Questioned Moment: 

• The assassination of President John F. Kennedy on November 22, 1963 has produced one of the most enduring sets of conspiracy theories in modern history. 
• There is the theory of the second shooter on the grassy knoll, since some witnesses in Dealey Plaza (where the event occurred) reported hearing shots from the front, near a grassy knoll. This led to speculation that a second gunman fired in addition to (or instead of) Lee Harvey Oswald.
• Some postulate that the CIA was involved and orchestrated the assassination, possibly because JFK was perceived as soft on communism or insufficiently supportive of certain intelligence operations.
• Some believe that organized crime figures targeted JFK because his brother, Attorney General Robert F. Kennedy was aggressively pursuing mafia prosecutions.
• A less sensational but still discussed theory suggests that a Secret Service agent may have accidentally fired a shot during the confusion after Oswald’s initial shot.
