On November 22nd 1963, at 12:30, President JFK was assassinated. Official reports state that Lee Harvey Oswald, a defected ex marine, was the assassin.

I believe that there was more than one person involved with the assassination of JFK, I am not disputing that weather Oswald did it or not. This is just some of the things that I've come across with my research.

There where 3 shots fired from the Texas School Book Depository within 7 seconds, the rife, that was ID'd as a 7.65 Mauser by Deputy Sheriff Eugene Boone and Deputy Constable Seymour Weitzman. They first saw that the gun had "Mauser" stamped on the barrel. This is exactly what he said:

"7.65 Mauser bolt action equipped with a 4/18 scope, a thick leather brownish-black sling on it"

When the Warren Commission started investigating, the gun was then changed to a 6.5mm Italian Mannlicher-Carcano. This is after the policemen confirmed that it was a Mauser.

Anyway, one of the three bullets missed the vehicle entirely, one hit Kennedy, passed through him and struck Governor John Connally, and the third bullet was the fatal head shot to the President, I think that there where 4 shots, as it is unlikely from the angle that the 2nd bullet went through Kennedy and Connally. Some witnesses even state that they heard 4 shots. Note that all these shots where fired within 6 - 7 seconds at a distance of 265 ft, which in my opinion very suspicious, with every shot extremely close to where Kenaddy was sitting. Bear in mind that the 6.5 Carcano is a bolt-action, and it is know for this model's bolt to jam if firing at rapid succession.
Robert Groden and Cyril Wecht suggest that JFK was hit by two different people at the same time, which might sound ridiculous, but in frame 313 you can clearly see 2 jets of blood come out of his head. However, with a high velocity rife (4,000 ft/sec) can sometimes create the effect that there are 2 exit wounds. (Oswalds rifle was a 2,000 ft/sec medium velocity rife). So there is another possibility that he was shot by a different gun; Grassy Knoll anyone?

Maybe Oswald was good at shooting? Like all Marines, as you know are all tested in their marksman abilities. in May 1959, Oswald was tested. His score was 191, which was barely earning the lower designation of marksman.
Also note that he even managed to shoot himself while in the Marines. Even stupider yet, the started a fight with the sergeant that was responsible for the court marshaling, Miguel Rodriguez.

21 witnesses to the assassination with 51 indicating that the shots that killed Kennedy came from the area of the grassy knoll. In 1967, Josiah Thompson examined the statements of 64 witnesses and found that 33 of them thought that the shots emanated from the grassy knoll.


When governor Conally was hit, after the 2nd shot he shouted: "Oh, no, no, no. My God. They're going to kill us all!"

Conally also testified before the Warren Commission that "...the thought immediately passed through my mind that there were either two or three people involved, or more, in this or someone was shooting with an automatic rifle."

Lee Bowers operated a railroad tower that overlooked the parking lot on the north side of the grassy knoll. He reported that he saw two men behind the picket fence at the top of the grassy knoll before the shooting. The men did not appear to be acting together and did not appear to be doing anything suspicious. After the shooting, Bowers said that one of the men remained behind the fence. Bowers said that he lost track of the second man whose clothing blended into the foliage.

Bowers told an interviewer that he heard three shots, the last two in quick succession. Bowers opined that they could not have come from the same rifle.


Lee Oswald was later killed by Jack Ruby 2 days later, before Oswalds court date. <-- could be a possible cover up?

If you are wondering where the grassy knoll is situated, here is a pic:

This is just some of the interesting things I have come across. If there are any mistakes (typos, facts etc..), or anything deemed irreverent, please post; as I am very tired and I keep nodding off.

NOTE: I am still going to put in some more info tomorrow. Maybe some pictures to back my statements.

What are your thoughts?
