Tell Your Neighbors: Where You Were When President Kennedy Was Shot

By Jennifer Mohan 

This Friday marks the 50th anniversary of the one of the darkest days in the nation's history — the day that President John F. Kennedy was assassinated in Dallas, Texas on Nov. 22, 1963 at age 46  just after noon as his motorcade made its way through Dealey Plaza.

As word of the tragedy spread during this tense time of Cold War, people wondered if the attack was part of a larger plot targeting Americans. The news drove people to department stores where they gathered in front of television screens and learned their fears were confirmed.

There are many people across the country and here in Connecticut who are old enough to remember where they were when they first heard the news and how they felt. 

Here's a chance share your memories and thoughts about President Kennedy's assassination in the comments section below.
