Shortly after President Kennedy was shot in Dallas , Texas , while in the '' Star-Telegram '' office , he received a telephone call from a woman in search of a ride to Dallas . The woman was Marguerite Oswald , Lee Harvey Oswald 's mother , whom he accompanied to the Dallas police station where he spent the next several hours . In the company of Oswald 's mother , Marguerite and his wife , Marina , he was able to use the phone in the police station to call in dispatches from other '' Star-Telegram '' reporters in the building . This enabled the '' Star-Telegram '' to create four " Extra " editions on the day of the assassination . Schieffer later joined the '' Star-Telegram '' 's television station , WBAP-TV in Fort Worth before taking a job with CBS in 1969
