<B>Nick McDonald Photograph Signed</B></I> "<I>Officer M. Nick McDonald - Captor of Oswald - 11-22-63</B></I>", 8" x 10", n.d, n.p. After President John F. Kennedy was shot on Nov. 22, 1963, Dallas Police Officer Maurice "Nick" McDonald (1929-2005) and several other officers received a tip about a suspicious man in the Texas Theater. McDonald and the other officers entered the rear of the darkened movie theater to search for their suspect. Lee Harvey Oswald was sitting in the audience. When McDonald confronted him, Oswald said, "Well, it's all over now." But as McDonald tried to search and cuff him, Oswald stood and punched the officer right between the eyes. The blow so was powerful it knocked McDonald's hat off his head. Oswald then used his right hand to shove a gun into the officer's stomach. Just as Oswald pulled the trigger, McDonald jammed his hand into the firing mechanism. The gun's hammer snapped against the flesh of his hand, but the bullet didn't fire. In response, McDonald hit Oswald and fought for control of the weapon. Several other officers grabbed the assassin and placed him under arrest. Oswald was also suspected in the murder of Dallas police officer J.D. Tippit, who was killed shortly after the president was shot. Tippit was McDonald's lockermate.
