DALLAS (AP) — Newly emerged film footage of President John F. Kennedy's motorcade speeding down a Dallas freeway toward a hospital after he was fatally wounded sold at auction Saturday for $137,500.
The 8 mm color home film was offered up by RR Auction in Boston. The auction house said the buyer wishes to remain anonymous.
The film has been with the family of the man who took it, Dale Carpenter Sr., since he recorded it on Nov. 22, 1963. It begins as Carpenter just misses the limousine carrying the president and first lady Jacqueline Kennedy but capturing other vehicles in the motorcade as it traveled down Lemmon Avenue toward downtown. The film then picks up after Kennedy has been shot, with Carpenter rolling as the motorcade roars down Interstate 35.
The shots had fired as the motorcade passed through Dealey Plaza in front of the Texas School Book Depository, where it was later found that assassin Lee Harvey Oswald had positioned himself from a sniper’s perch on the sixth floor. The assassination itself was famously captured on film by Abraham Zapruder.
Carpenter's footage from I-35, which lasts about 10 seconds, shows Secret Service Agent Clint Hill — who famously jumped onto the back of the limousine as the shots rang out — hovering in a standing position over the president and Jacqueline Kennedy, whose pink suit can be seen. The president was pronounced dead after arriving at Parkland Memorial Hospital.
Bobby Livingston, executive vice president of the auction house, said in a news release that the film “provides a gripping sense of urgency and heartbreak.”
Carpenter's grandson, James Gates, said that while it was known in his family that his grandfather had film from that day, it wasn't talked about often. So Gates said that when the film, stored along with other family films in a milk crate, was eventually passed on to him, he wasn't sure exactly what his grandfather, who died in 1991 at age 77, had captured.
Projecting it onto his bedroom wall around 2010, gates was at first underwhelmed by the footage from Lemmon Avenue. But then, the footage from I-35 played out before his eyes. “That was shocking," he said.
The auction house has released still photos from the portion of the film showing the race down I-35, but it is not publicly releasing video of that part.

BARCELONA, Spain (AP) — Bryan Zaragoza scored one goal and set up another to spark Osasuna's stunning 4-2 win over Barcelona on Saturday, dealing the Spanish league leader its first loss.
The lightning-fast forward on loan from Bayern Munich crossed for Ante Budimir to open the scoring in the 17th minute. Zaragoza then showed some fancy high-speed dribbling to round goalkeeper Iñaki Peña on the break for 2-0 in the 28th.
Barcelona was playing with three youth players and one, Pau Víctor, pulled one back for the visitors in the 53rd, but Budimir earned and converted a penalty to put the result beyond doubt in the 72nd. Osasuna's Abel Bretones made it 4-1 in the 85th and substitute Lamine Yamal scored Barcelona's second goal.
Barcelona recorded wins in the first seven rounds. An eighth victory would have equaled a club record established in 2013. Barcelona lost its opener in the Champions League 2-1 at Monaco last week.
“It hurts. We wanted to make it eight of eight, but we didn’t play our best game,” said Barcelona forward Ferran Torres, who hit the post late.
Barcelona remained atop the league at four points ahead of Real Madrid before the defending champion visits Atletico Madrid in a derby on Sunday. Osasuna moved into sixth place and stayed unbeaten in Pamplona in this campaign with four wins and a draw.
Zaragoza stunned Barcelona when he cut back from the left corner to open space before whipping in an in-swinging cross past marker Jules Koundé. Budimir did the rest by shouldering Pau Cubarsí out of the way and thumping his header off the turf and beyond the reach of Peña.
It was soon 2-0 when Osasuna recovered the ball midfield and Pablo Ibánez immediately launched Zaragoza on a quick attack with a long pass that played him clear behind the defensive line.
Zaragoza showed why Bayern signed him by feinting a shot before performing a rollover while at full speed to glide past Peña and poke the ball home.
“We had to go out there to bite,” Zaragoza said.
He enjoyed a breakout 2022-23 season at Granada where he scored 11 goals before he was signed by Bayern on a contract through 2029. But after only seven appearances for the German powerhouse, it sent him to Osasuna to gain playing time. His goal against Barcelona was his first since his return to La Liga.
Facing a third league game in a week, Hansi Flick rotated his lineup by leaving Yamal, Raphinha, Íñigo Martínez and Alejandro Balde on the bench. In their place, Flick once again dipped into Barcelona’s youth squad and gave starts to 19-year-old Sergi Dominguez and 22-year-olds Víctor and Gerard Martín.
But a backline with Martín and Domínguez and the 17-year-old Cubarsí, and anchored by Peña making his second start in place of the injured Marc-Andre ter Stegen, was not up to the pressure of El Sadar.
“It is normal that we have rotations, we play lots of games,” Barcelona’s Pedri González said. “It It can’t be an excuse. The 11 of us had to go out there ready to play, but the halftime score was too much.”
Next for Barcelona is Young Boys in the Champions League on Tuesday.
Colombia midfielder James Rodríguez made his first start since he joined Rayo Vallecano, in a 1-1 draw with Leganes.
Real Sociedad beat Valencia 3-0. Getafe beat Alaves 2-0 at home.
