The sequence was not shown as a film clip on network television until 1975. Zapruder sold the publication rights to his film images to Life magazine, which ran the jarring, graphic still frames in its next issue a week later. Half-a-century later, we're still not entirely sure what happened in Dallas that day. The third shot, the killing one, exploded into the right side of Kennedy’s head.Ĭonspiracy theorists point to the impossible trajectory of the magic bullet, and to the 26 seconds of silent film shot by Dallas dressmaker Abraham Zapruder, which shows Kennedy’s head snapping backwards as the fatal third shot takes off the right side of his head, as evidence that shots came from more than one direction.įorensics experts disagree, however, arguing that the described path of the second bullet, while improbable, was not impossible and that Kennedy's head snap at the moment of impact suggests a reaction to the first bullet striking him and not the second. The second, the so-called " magic bullet," passed through Kennedy and tore into Gov. Three shots were fired, all from above and behind the target. They came from the same weapon, a bolt-action Mannlicher-Carcano military rifle of Italian manufacture that was recovered at the Book Depository. The Warren Report, basing its findings on the autopsy and forensics reports, concluded that two bullets struck Kennedy. A number of eyewitnesses claimed to have heard gunfire coming from the grassy knoll, but nobody actually saw a gunman, and no shells were ever recovered. The so-called "grassy knoll" theory maintains that one, or possibly two, gunmen shot from ground level in Dealey Plaza. But the other big assertion - that Oswald (or whoever the Book Depository gunman was) had help from shooters on the ground - has never been adequately supported by hard evidence, either.
