How can you be sure that Oswald even knew that the president was shot?

Why else would he leave work early? He wasn't curious as to why a police officer was 1) in the building and 2) pointing a gun at him?

He did not have any chance of shooting his way out of Dealey Plaza, so he did not bring a gun.

He did not bring a gun.  Thanks Joe -- welcome to the dark side! :)

He did not believe that there was going to be any more work that day?

He recanted his ID of Ozzie.

Did he now? I'll wait to see what Mr Iacoletti has to say about that before I offer my own thoughts on it.

The bus driver identified Oswald in the line-up on Nov 22 as the man on his bus who was grinning about the President being shot.

Except the grinning man was Milton Jones.

Mr. BALL - Let me ask you this, though. Did you tell them the man, the smaller man, you saw in the lineup, did you tell them that you thought he was the man who got off your bus and got the transfer or the man who was on the bus who was the teenager who was grinning?
Mr. McWATTERS - Well, I really thought he was the man who was on the bus.
Mr. BALL - That stayed on the bus?
Mr. McWATTERS - That stayed on the bus.
Mr. BALL - And you didn't think he was the man who got off the bus and to whom you gave a transfer?
Mr. McWATTERS - No, sir.

Cool!

Mr. BRENNAN. Well, as it appeared to me he was standing up and resting against the left window sill, with gun shouldered to his right shoulder, holding the gun with his left hand and taking positive aim and fired his last shot. As I calculate a couple of seconds. He drew the gun back from the window as though he was drawing it back to his side and maybe paused for another second as though to assure hisself that he hit his mark, and then he disappeared.
