A man shot himself to death today on the spot in Dealey Plaza, Dallas, where President John F Kennedy was assassinated 40 years ago.
Witnesses said they saw a man in a camouflage jacket holding a gun on his chest and lying in the middle of the street on the spray painted X, an unofficial memorial maintained by the publisher of a local conspiracy theory publication.
"I can honestly say I've seen it all," said Mr Ron Rice, who works at the nearby Conspiracy Museum.
Rice said it initially appeared that the man had been struck by a vehicle.
When police arrived, they found a man shot in the head and a small calibre revolver, said spokesman Mr Chris Gilliam.
