	WEIRD: Man shoots himself in same spot where Kennedy was killed Support Apolyton or Terrorists Win

Man dead in apparent suicide at site of JFK assassination

DALLAS, Texas (AP) --A man apparently shot himself to death early Friday on the "X" in Dealey Plaza that marks the spot where President John F. Kennedy was assassinated 40 years ago, authorities said.

Witnesses said they saw a man in a camouflage jacket holding a gun on his chest and lying in the middle of the street on the spray painted "X," an unofficial memorial maintained by the publisher of a local conspiracy theory publication.

"I can honestly say I've seen it all," said Ron Rice, who works at the nearby Conspiracy Museum in downtown Dallas.

Rice said it initially appeared that the man had been struck by a vehicle. When police arrived, they found a man shot in the head and a small caliber revolver, Dallas Police Department spokesman Chris Gilliam said.

According to the Dallas County Medical Examiner's office, the man, who was not immediately identified, was in his 40s.

Kennedy was fatally shot as his motorcade drove through Dealey Plaza on November 22, 1963.

Actually I think the weirdest part of this is that there's a big "X Marks The Spot" where Kennedy was killed.

There you go. How could a bullet from a small caliber revolver cause so much damage that the man looked like he was struck by a vehicle? That must have been a magic bullet huh....

actually I'm surprised this is the first time this has happened. They should have known better to have an X marking the sport of the assassination.

Famous landmarks and places are magnets for suicides. Look at golden gate bridge. It took years to get them to put up a suicide fence. The original theory was that if they don't off themselves there, they will go somewhere else. But interestingly, this isn't the case. Many suicidal types- mostly men, like to off themselves in a dramatic famous place.
