Watching the Zapruder film shows the same.
Magic Bullet - The Warren Commission concluded that Lee Harvey Oswald fired three shots from behind Kennedy, one which missed injuring James Tague, another which killed Kennedy, and a third supposedly responsible for seven other entry and exit wounds. This notion, known as the Magic Bullet theory, was authored by Arlen Specter, who upon his death was mourned by the Israeli embassy as an unswerving defender of the Jewish state. (𓃠)
A photo from the warren commission (jacket commission exhibit 393 – FBI exhibit c29) shows that the back of Kennedy's jacket has two holes, one just below his collar and the other, five inches down and slightly to the right.
Additional guns - Kennedy was supposedly shot with a Carcano. But a Mauser 7.64 was found by police in the northwest stairwell of the TSBD. (Affidavit of Deputy Seymour Weitzman, November 23, 1963 The Portal To Texas History). (Affidavit of Deputy E.L. Boone, November 23, 1963, Boone Testimony, The Portal To Texas History). This information was released to the news. (Warren Commission Exhibit No. 3047). This was also told by Sgt. Gerald Hill to a reporter for WFAA-TV. (Bob Whitten interview of Gerald Hill, November 22, 1963). Another Mauser would be reported to have been found on the roof of the book depository, caught in a few frames of the Tom Alyea film. A Dallas police official claimed that it had been dropped by a security officer, although no security personnel were stationed at that location. (Gary Shaw – Cover)
One of the Mausers can be seen in CBS news coverage of the Carcano. (𓃠)
Detective Elmer Boyd can be seen carrying what looks like either a Mauser Cigarette rifle or a 1916 Model 8 Remington.
There was also a Johnson 30.06 rifle linked to mercenary Loran Hall by the HSCA. (𓃠) A man can be seen running away with what looks like the same gun in the Orville Nix film. (𓃠) This also confirms the testimony of a 14 year old gun nut, who recognized the sound of a 30.06, and saw a man running away from the Pergola. (𓃠)
The warren commission concluded that three bullet casings found under the window of the Texas School Book Depository, however the original crime scene report indicates that only two hulls were collected. Looking at the updated version of this document, it appears as though someone has taken an ink pen and written 3 over 2. Photographed was one live 6.5 munition round, obtained from captain Will Fritz. This was allegedly picked up and returned to the FBI by Cpt. J.W. Fritz, who allegedly kept it as a souvenir. (affidavit of Captain J. W. Fritz, jfk-assassination.net) Different Documents revealing the chains of custody contradict each other, with three hulls making their way from Lt. Day to Sims to Fritz, then two from Day to Brown to Williams.
Five bullet fragments were allegedly found in the limousine, in addition to the magic bullet which turned up on a stretcher at parkland, apparently not even one belonging to either Kennedy or Connolly. by neither Kennedy or Conolly. This doesn't account for the 45. caliber slug found on the south side of Elm Street by Sherrif Buddy Walthers, the bullet signed in at an F.B.I. lab by Robert Frazier, the bullet reportedly lodged behind Kennedy's ear, the 7.65 bullet found 10 days later which was DETERMINED OF NO VALUE AND DESTROYED, or the second fully jacketed bullet found on the stretcher and kept by O.P. Wright because the Dallas police didn’t want it.
Either way, the magic bullet needed to be planted to link to Oswald's Carcano, or whoever else they might have blamed.
In 1967 Parkland personnel O.P. Wright told authors that the bullet he had held did not look like the bullet which later turned up in FBI evidence. This claim was in conflict with a July 7th 1964 FBI memo which stated that it did look like the shell he had seen on the day of the murder. Wright said the bullet had a pointed tip. (Six Seconds in Dallas – Josiah Thompson) This description matches that of a bullet belonging to an Enfield 303, a gun found at the house of Buell Frazier, who drove Oswald into Dealey Plaza. This would indicate that had Oswald gotten away, Buell Frazier may have been backup for a second patsy.
Witnesses - You might be wondering, if there was more than one shooter, why weren't there any witnesses. Well, not only were their numerous witnesses, but many of them were either threatened or had their statements altered.
Ed Hoffman reported seeing two men, one of which was wearing a black hat and a blue jacket, who fired a rifle over the picket fence before tossing it to a man dressed as a rail road worker, who broke it down and put it in a tool box. A man in a black hat with a high powered rifle was also seen by a witness named Velma. A shooter from the pergola was spotted by an unnamed 14 year-old witness who spoke to the FBI. Rail road supervisor, Sam Holland reported to the FBI to having seen a puff of smoke lingering above the picket fence above the grassy knoll. Witness, Jean Hill told the police that she had heard around six shots from the picket fence. Hill would later claim to Jim Garrison that her statements had been altered in the WC report. Similarly, witness Julia Anne Mercer claimed to have seen Jack Ruby dropping off guns at the grassy knoll. The green truck described by Mercer can be seen in both the Marie Muchmore and Robert Hughes videos. Muchmore's statements were also altered. John Powell, an inmate being housed at the county jail reported seeing two dark skinned men with rifles on the 6th floor. Philip Hathaway reported seeing a rifle and a gun case while walking up Akard Street, described as having a dirty blonde crew cut. Arnold Rowland and his wife saw a man with a high powered rifle through the 6th floor of the TSBD. They also saw a dark complected man in the opposite corner, with what was described as a face which was wrinkled or marked in some way. These men can just about be seen in the Robert Hughes film. Ruby Henderson told the FBI she had seen two men on the 6th floor with rifles, one of which seemed to be Mexican. Caroline Walters also sees two men with rifles on what she had believed to have been the 5th floor. Richard Randolph Carr was working on the 7th floor of the newly constructed courthouse, located on the corner of Houston and Commerce. He told the FBI he saw a man with a rifle on the 5th floor, then later saw him going down Houston Street to the corner of Commerce. He would later testify at the trial of Clay Shaw to having seen three men, including a Latin, exit the rear door of the TSBD. with two fleeing in a station wagon, with third later being seen walking in a hurry and frequently looking over his shoulder, also fleeing in a light colored station wagon. Carr would survive two separate murder attempts wherein he would kill one of his attackers. Motorist Marvin C. Robinson also witnessed a green Rambler pick up a white man outside of TSBD. Roger Craig was a Dallas Sherriff's who was gunned down in 1975. He recalled a white man in his 20s running down the grassy knoll before being picked up by a Latin man coming down Elm Street in a light green Rambler. Roger Craig later identified this man from a picture shown to him by Jim Garrison. Garrison, said he did not know who he was, other than that he had been arrested immediately after the assassination, but was let go because he didn't speak English. Tom Dillard, a photographer on the motorcade, also saw men on the 6th floor of the School Book Depository.
There were 216 eye witnesses there that day. 57 witnesses said it came from the knoll and 53 said from the depository. The number of shots heard was 3 or 4, that came from multiple directions. This is backed up by 21 cops who rushed the picket fence and heard a shot come from the “grassy knoll”. “Analysis of Shots, Trajectories and Wounds”.
Joe Smith, J.C. Price, Lee Bowers and SM Holland, stated there was a shooting, loud noise, a flash of light, smoke by the pergola, bushes, fence, mud on the bumper of a station wagon, a man wearing a white shirt and trousers near the pergola (we see that in the Orville Knix film), a darker dressed man, one man in a car that had a telephone or walki talkie and fake secret service agents. Secret service agents were also seen the back of the depository by officer D.V. Harkness.
Bill Newman was the closest witness to the limousine in Dealey Plaza, but was never called by the Warren Commission. He told the FBI tat gun fire came from behind him from the Grassy Knoll. his statements.
Mary Moorman, photographed what looks like a man with a hat behind the picket fence during the shooting, although her photo was not included by the Warren Commission. She stated that she was invited to provide testimony but asked for a postponement after an injury, and wasn't contacted again.
Ed Johnson reported people seeing puffs of smoke by the grassy knoll and police drawing their guns and running to the scene. puffs of smoke This can be seen in an enhanced version of the Dave Wiegman video.
Officer James Chayney was a motorcycle officer that was around 10 to 15 feet away from JFK, and stated a second shot hit him in the face. He was never asked to testify to the Commission.
Multiple witnesses observed a penetrating bullet hole in the limousine windshield, which can be seen in photographs.
Similarly, secret service agent, Todd Hiles and Stewart Fillmore documented bullet holes on a pillar of the TSBD.
Two days before the assassination, two cops noticed several men aiming rifles over the picket fence. They made it over, but by the time they got there, the men had fled in a car. This was reported to the FBI, who issued a report which was never mentioned by the Warren Commission, and disappeared until 1978 when it resurfaced thanks to a FOIA request.
Multiple arrests - The San Rafael California Daily Independent Journal Evening edition on November 22, 1963 reported that in addition to Oswald, a second suspect was also in custody”.
This might have something to do with the man in black being questioned by the police. In a clearer picture a blurred out rifle can be seen.
There's also the three tamps, who are not to be confused with the other three tramps arrested form a box car, identified as Gus Abrams, John Gedney, and Harold Doyle. John and Harold have reports on their arrest in 1963, but Gus has one in 65, all on Nov. 22. The tramps photographed were arrested from a coal car and taken from a Dallas jail house. They were about to get a gunpowder test but were let go after Oswald was arrested. Marvin Weiss, the officer escorting the three, clearly has a wire in his ear, although he claimed it was a wad of cotton.
Jim Garrison discovered a picture taken of a man arrested in Dealey Plaza after the assassination, who was let go because he didn't speak English.
Garland Slack said he saw someone take a young airman into custody.
Tippit - The official story tells us that Oswald was dropped off by a taxi at his house at 1:00 PM, then walked to 10th and Patton to shoot Officer Tippit at 1:16 PM. For this to have been possible, Oswald must have walked 8 miles in 16 minutes. Supposedly after killing Tippit, Oswald made his way to the Texas Theatre to watch a movie. Theatre manager Butch Burroughs stated that Oswald entered around 1:00 and 1:17 PM, although Tippit was shot at 1:16, plus Tippit's body arrived at the hospital at 1:15 PM.
As for the bullets found at the scene, three of their impressions had a notch at the side, indicative of a semi automatic, while only one was completely round, suggesting a revolver.
Motorist Domingo Benavides witnessed Tippit's killing, but refused to identify Oswald in a line up. In 1965, his brother Edward who resembled Domingo was shot in the back of the head in a club in Dallas. Helen Markham described Tippit's killer as being short and somewhat on the heavy side, with slightly bushy hair. Later Markham identified Lee Harvey Oswald in a police line up. Although considered a star witness, her testimony was full of mistakes. She said he was alive when the ambulance arrived, but the other witnesses said he dies immediately. She also falsely claimed that for the first 20 minutes she was the only person to attend the body. Aquilla Clemons described Tippit's assailant as chunky but short, and that he waved his hand at a skinny man in a white shirt and khakis, signaling him to go. She also said that a man came to her two days after the assassination telling her it would be best if she didn't say anything, because she might get hurt. These men were also seen by George and Patricia Nash, who described them speeding off in a grey Plymouth. A grey Plymouth was reportedly driven by the shooter behind the picket fence described by Velma, driven by a man in a black hat. Ed Hoffman also reported a man in a black hat and a blue coat from the grassy knoll. Like Aquilla Clemons, Doris Holan recalled Tippet's assailant as a heavy man who waved his hand to signal a second shooter, and like Hoffman, she recalled him wearing a blue coat. She also said, "if it wasn't him, it was his brother," in relation to the man she saw shot by Jack Ruby on TV.
