Los Angeles Herald-Examiner (Los Angeles, California), November 22, 1963. Scarce “Night Final” extra edition featuring the massive front-page headline “KENNEDY SHOT” with the subheadline “Condition Very Critical.” Published during the chaotic hours immediately following the assassination in Dallas, the front page reports that President John F. Kennedy and Texas Governor John Connally had both been struck by gunfire. The issue contains extensive breaking-news coverage as details continued to emerge from Parkland Hospital and the scene of the shooting.

This edition was printed before later reports confirmed President Kennedy’s death, making it a particularly compelling contemporary account of the rapidly unfolding tragedy. Newspapers issued during this brief period often carried reports describing Kennedy’s condition as critical while the nation anxiously awaited updates from Dallas. The bold banner headline and urgent reporting capture the uncertainty, shock, and confusion that defined one of the most significant days in American history. Early extra editions such as this remain among the most desirable and historically important newspapers associated with the Kennedy assassination.

Good condition overall with light expected toning and age wear.
