The Conspiracy Theory of the Loan Gunman - JFKs Assassination
On November 22, 1963, President John F. Kennedy was assassinated in Dallas Texas. The shots came at 12:30 p.m. This took place just as the presidential motorcade slowly passed through downtown Dallas. President Kennedy was shot twice and fatally wounded. Also wounded was Governor John B. Connally of Texas who was sitting directly in front of the President. The President was immediately rushed to Parkland Hospital where he died at 1:00 p.m. Desperate efforts to save his life were made. (Compton's Encyclopedia). Lee Harvey Oswald was arrested less than one hour later. He was arrested in connection with the murder of J.D. Tippit a Dallas policeman. Oswald was immediately suspected on the shooting of the President and was charged early the next morning with the assassination. There are two very controversial issues dealing with the assassination. One is whether Oswald could have fired the three shots in the time allotted and if the nearly whole bullet, which was the Warren Commission Exhibit #399 could have passed through the President, out his neck and then causing all of Governor Connally's wounds. This bullet was found on the stretcher in the Parkland Hospital. (Compton's Encyclopedia). IN 1964 and 1978, The Warren Commission

Most critics of the shingle shooter theory say the commission gave Oswald as little time as possible to fire all three shots. They also state that the second shot missed and third shot was fatal head wound. The commission admitted this was a minimum allowable time but it was possible for Oswald to do it. (President Commission 61-70). There were five main conclusions in the Warren Commission's report. The first one concluded that the shots all cane form the Texas Schoolbook Depository. This was primarily based on medical evidence of where the bullets landed, on eyewitnesses, people who saw a rifle in the sixth -floor window. And also found at that site were the murder weapon and three cartage cases. All this evidence suggests a single shooter theory. (Unraveling 35-36).
