Here you go:
[Excerpt]
Fagin homed in on how some researchers and authors selectively interpret the Newmans? descriptions of what they heard. The third shot that the Newmans said came from ?behind? them, he pointed out, has been used ?as evidence that you heard a shot from the grassy knoll."
And that?s simply not the case, said Bill Newman.
?It was the visual impact [of the fatal shot] that made me think the shot came down over our head,? he said. ?In all honesty, I have no idea where the shot came from.?---Bill Newman

Bill Newman does not discredit his initial thoughts of where he thought his shots came from in this interview that is 49 years after the fact. He just does not know. His initial reaction is that the shots came from the shelter.
His initial interview says that the shots came from the shelter and is corroborated by Mr. Zapruder's first interview and Warren Commission testimony.
Mr. Zapruder, in 1966 changed his story and agreed with the Warren Commission findings in this interview. I don't know why he changed his mind, but his initial interview and testimony is corroborated by Mr. Newman.
There is photographic evidence of a person behind Mr. Zapruder, there is film evidence in the Nix Film of a shot being fired, there are the two initial testimony of Mr. Zapruder and Mr. Newman.
There is a photograph that shows what is most likely gunpowder smoke in Dealey Plaza right after the assassination from the San Diego Free Press
There is also testimony from law enforcement officers and secret service officers pointing to shots coming from the right front in the Warren Commission -

Landis - "My immediate thought was that the President could not possibly be alive after being hit like he was. I still am not certain from which direction the second shot came, but my reaction at the time was the shot came from somewhere towards the front right-hand side of the road."
Deputy Sherriff - Harold Elkins - "I immediately ran to the area from which it sounded like the shots had been fired. This is an area between the railroad and the Texas School Book Depository which is east of the railroad."
