Notable

American member of the public who received minor injuries during the assassination of U.S. President John F. Kennedy in Dallas, Texas, on 22 November 1963. Tague received a minor wound to his right cheek, caused by tiny pieces of concrete debris from a street curb that was struck by fragments from the bullet that killed Kennedy. Besides Kennedy and Texas Governor John B. Connally, Tague was the only person known to have been wounded by gunfire in Dallas's Dealey Plaza that day. In 2003, the 40th anniversary year of the assassination, Tague published a book, Truth Withheld, detailing his experiences during and after the assassination. He wrote that he was injured following the second shot. In 2011, Tague was used by Max Holland as a witness to support Holland's first shot miss theory for the show JFK: The Lost Bullet. In 2013 Tague published his second book, LBJ and the Kennedy Killing, claiming that Vice-President Lyndon B. Johnson and his associates were involved in the assassination of President Kennedy. Tague became a car salesman in Bonham, Texas, where he retired. He died there on 28 February 2014 at the age of 77. Link to Wikipedia biography
