A network television pool camera was broadcasting live to cover Oswald's transfer; millions of people watching on [[NBC]] saw the shooting as it happened and in a matter of minutes it was on other networks.<ref>{{cite book |author-link=Laurence Bergreen |last=Bergreen |first=Laurence |year=1980 |title=Look Now, Pay Later: The Rise of Network Broadcasting |url=https://archive.org/details/looknowpaylaterr00berg |url-access=registration |location=New York |publisher=Doubleday and Company |isbn=978-0-451-61966-2}}</ref> Several photographs were taken of the event, capturing the moments when Ruby pulled the trigger.

Great indignation was directed towards Ruby's murder of Oswald. Many felt that the killing had robbed the nation of essential information and left key questions unanswered. Former Vice President [[Richard Nixon]] said, "(Oswald was) also entitled to a trial ... two wrongs don't make a right."<ref>{{YouTube|id=XyoyNF2MbIY|title=November 24, 1963 – Richard M.

Not all were shocked, however. The crowd outside the headquarters applauded when they heard that Oswald had been shot.<ref>{{harvnb|Posner|1993|page=399}}</ref> In Dallas and elsewhere in the nation, Oswald was hated in death, and Ruby was viewed as a hero by some citizens. During his time in jail, he received many letters from the public, often praising him for his actions.
