...only one assassin, Oswald, fired the shots in Dallas' Dealey Plaza; 2) there were three shots, and all were fired from behind the two victims, Kennedy and then Texas Governor John Connally, who was seated ahead of the President on a jump seat in a limousine; 3) one bullet missed both men; one passed through Kennedy's neck and Connally's chest and right wrist, stopping in his left thigh. The other hit Kennedy in the head...
...single-assassin conclusion. To the dismay of some of his fellow critics, Wecht abandoned his earlier tentative opinion that shots could have struck Kennedy from the front; he too decided they had come from behind and above the President's car. But he does not believe the bullet that struck Kennedy high in his back also injured Connally. Based on his estimate of the bullet trajectories, Wecht contends that two assassins must have been firing from different positions in the Book Depository...
There has been little medical argument over Connally's wounds. His doctors agree that a single bullet struck the right side of his back, fractured a rib, then hit the upper side of his right wrist and shallowly penetrated his left thigh. For this bullet to have come from ahead of the car, the shot would have had to be fired from near the level of the floor...
...assumed that three separate shots had inflicted the wounds on Kennedy and Connally, though they thought one rifleman could have done all of the shooting. The Zapruder film and the known characteristics of Oswald's rifle forced them to reconsider; this resulted in the theory that a single bullet struck both Kennedy and Connally...
...seconds between each firing to work the bolt, aim and pull the trigger. Thus it was possible for Oswald to have fired both shots at Kennedy within five seconds-but not to have got off a third shot that wounded Connally within the same time span. Since the bullet that went through Kennedy's neck obviously was traveling on a downward course but left no hole anywhere in the car, the Warren Commission staff concluded that it must have hit Connally...
