ABC New advocates a single shooter while History channel advocates multi shooters in the shooting of JFK Kennedy. Who is right and if you were there what did you see?

I was not there but, since I'm 53, I remember when Kennedy was shot. I've seen the footage a million times...in real time, in slow motion and fram by frame. It's my opinion, based on the movements of the President's body and the injuries suffered by another passenger in the vehicle, that there were bullets coming from more than one direction. Oswald was the fall guy.

I saw a documentary a couple of weeks back where they went with a sharp shooter to look at the different angles a shooter could have had at the time/place. They compared that with the camera footage they had of the event as to where the car was and such. The sharp shooter made out three possible places from which a good shooter could have taken a shot even with limited visual etc also taken into account what the area looked like at the time. I always thought that Jacqueline was trying to escape and that's why she climbed on the back of the car. Turns out she was collecting a piece of JFK's scalp and brain matter. They interviewed the people who also sat in the car and those who managed to see it before it was cleaned up, about what transpired, what they heard, where the blood was. Then they recreated the scene in a safe area using several dummy heads shooting it from the height and distance a shot was possible. The heads were prepared so 'brain splatter' and such could be recreated. From that they concluded the shot must have come from the library although at that distance with that particular weapon it was extremely difficult to hit the 'mark'. Might have very well been that several people shot and only one hit. Reports from the time do indicate people hearing several 'shot-like' noises. Question still remains whether Oswald shot or somebody else from the same position. If it indeed was him, he was 'lucky' to hit his target. I don't think he was what could be considered a marksman sharpshooter. Anyhow, I think the theories about what transpired will continue. I don't think we'll ever really know what exactly transpired and led up to all of this to begin with. I wasn't there, I wasn't even born yet, lol. It was a sad day for America and I truly hope there won't be a repeat.
