My names is Milton T. Wright, Texas Highway Patrolman, Badge No. 790. On November 22 I was assigned to drive a 63 Mercury Comet convertible that contained the Mayor and his wife and a U. S. Congressman. We turned onto Houston Street, the parade was going real well and speed was beginning to pick up and the crowd was beginning to thin right at this point. The car I was driving had just turned onto Elm Street and approximately 30 feet from the intersection when I heard the first shot. When the second shot was fired I noticed a number of people running away from the Motorcade and I saw several Dallas motorcycle policemen had their guns drawn. Then the motorcade speeded up and we went toward the hospital at a high rate of speed. I could see the President's car but I could not see anyone in the back seat. The only people I could see were the Agents. At the hospital we unloaded the Governor first and then the President. Then we were instructed to keep the news media away from the car.
