“All any intelligent person, even a child has to do is look at the Zapruder film. After the shot hits him in the head, the critical shot, John Kennedy goes backwards, towards the back of the car, so he’s almost blown out the back of the car. John Kennedy was obviously hit from the front, everybody knows it, and especially the government.”
- Jim Garrison
TRIANGULATED CROSSFIRE
How many wounds? How many bullets? How many assassins? These are the fundamental questions of the assassination. While these questions may never be fully answered, certain conclusions can be drawn as to from what directions the shots came and where they hit. After a careful analysis of testimony from witnesses in Dealey Plaza, films of the assassination, an audio recording, and medical evidence, likely scenarios emerge and the government’s case for a lone gunman comes crashing down.
The Warren Commission’s overall conclusions concerning the gunshots are as follows:
> Three and only three shots were fired in Dealey plaza, all of which came from behind the car from the sixth floor of the Texas School Book Depository.
> One shot struck Kennedy in the back and passed trough his throat striking Connally in the back exiting his chest at passing through his right wrist and buried itself in his left leg.
> Another shot struck Kennedy in back of his head and exited out of the front right side.
> Another shot missed the car completely and ricocheted off of a curb stone on Main Street striking bystander James Tague on his left cheek. |
