On April 10, 1963, Former U.S. Army General Edwin Walker reported that he was the target of an assassination attempt at his home in Dallas, TX, but escaped serious injury when a bullet fired from outside hit a window frame and fragmented. After its investigation into the assassination of John F. Kennedy, the Warren Commission concluded that Walker's assailant had been Lee Harvey Oswald. As Walker was sitting at a desk in his dining room, a bullet struck the wooden frame of his dining-room window. Walker was injured in the forearm by fragments. Marina Oswald later testified that her husband had told her that he traveled by bus to General Walker's house and shot at Walker with his rifle. The very same rifle Oswald would allegedly use to assassinate President John F. Kennedy in November that year. Marina said Oswald considered Walker to be the leader of a "fascist organization." This footage from the NBC 5 Archive/The Sixth Floor Museum at Dealey Plaza Collection shows police inspecting the scene at Walker's home with audio of Walker speaking to the press after nearly being killed by a bullet supposedly shot by Lee Harvey Oswald.
