Texas School Book Depository

The Texas School Book Depository was the building on Elm Street in Dealey Plaza where Lee Harvey Oswald was believed to have used his rifle in the assassination of John F. Kennedy on 22 November 1963. (PROSE: Untitled, Who Killed Kennedy)

According to one account, Oswald did shoot Kennedy from the Depository. His entire biography had been designed by the Time Lord Berenyi so that that the government would "love him" as the "perfect" assassin. Oswald fired three shots, killing the President. On Berenyi's orders, he dropped the gun and ran down the stairs to the second floor where he was spotted by a policeman. He was later arrested at a cinema. Berenyi left the Depository with her TARDIS which was disguised as a filing cabinet. (PROSE: Untitled)

According to another account, Oswald was an innocent employee of the Depository. He saw Francis Cleary, an agent of, with a rifle and struggled for control of it but was knocked unconscious after he was startled by ripping Cleary's shirt to reveal a Soviet uniform. Cleary was later followed and rendered unconscious by journalist James Stevens who had travelled to 1963 using a Time Ring to prevent the Master from changing the course of history. After locating the Master with the rifle from the sniper's nest on the sixth floor, the presidential motorcade approached and he was given a choice to save Kennedy or save history. He chose to save Kennedy and fired a single shot at the Master but missed because the telescopic sight had become misaligned when Cleary dropped it. The bullet smashed into the sidewalk and up into the air harmlessly. According to this account, Kennedy was instead killed by an older version of Stevens from behind the tall wooden fence on the grassy knoll. Stevens put the rifle behind some boxes for the police to find and roused Oswald to consciousness before he and Cleary escaped from the Depository by using the Time Ring.

The Warren Commission later incorrectly concluded that Oswald adjusted his aim in order to kill Kennedy to account for the misaligned sights. (PROSE: Who Killed Kennedy)
