Gary Craig,

Any other witnesses corroborate Willis' recollection of the timing of the first shot?

Before me, the undersigned authority, on this the 22nd day of November A. D.1963
personally appeared -Austin Lawrence Miller W/M 26Addr. 1006 PowZll Circle, Mesquitt

-snip

It had preceeded about halfway from Houston
Street to the underpass when I heard what sounded like a shot a short second two
more sharp reports . A man in the back seat slumped over and a woman in bright col
ored dress (Orange or Yellow) grabbed the man and yelled . One shot apparently hit
the street past the car. I saw something which I thought was smoke or steam
coming from a group of trees north of Elm off the Railroad tracks .

Motorcade cop tells how it happened B.W. Hargis
Sunday News (New York) 24 November 1963


“Motorcade Cop Tells How It Happened,” Sunday News (New York), 24 November 1963, p.25:

Dallas, Nov. 23 (Special) - B. W. Hargis, 31, Dallas motorcycle patrolman who was riding
in President Kennedy’s motorcade, gave this account today of the assassination:
 
“We turned left onto Elm St. off Houston, about half a block from where it happened. I was
right alongside the rear fender on the left hand side of the President’s car, near Mrs. Kennedy.
 
When I heard the first explosion, I knew it was a shot. I thought that Gov. Connally had been
hit when I saw him turn toward the President with a real surprised look.

The President then looked like he was bent over or that he was leaning toward the Governor, talking to him.
 
As the President straightened back up, Mrs. Kennedy turned toward him, and that was when he got hit in the side of his head,
spinning it around.

I was splattered with blood.
 
Then I felt something hit me. It could have been concrete or something, but I thought at first I might have been hit.
Then I saw the limousine stop, and I parked my motorcycle at the side of the road, got off and drew my gun.
 
Then this Secret Service agent (in the President’s car) got his wits about him and they took off. The
motorcycle officer on the right side of the car was Jim Chaney. He immediately went forward and announced to the chief that
the President had been shot.”

Gary just blessed us once again with his favorite Phil Willis testimony cherry-pick.

Describing the Kennedys, Willis recalled:

    "In slide No. 4 he was looking pretty much toward -- straight ahead, and
     she was looking more to the left, which would be my side of the street.
     Then when the first shot was fired, she turned to the right toward him
     and he more or less slumped forward, and it caused me to wonder if he
     were hit, although I couldn’t say."

   

JFK arrowed; Mrs. Kennedy in pink pillbox hat.

Mrs. Kennedy has already turned to her right in Willis 05.

"Describing the Kennedys, Willis recalled:

    "In slide No. 4 he was looking pretty much toward -- straight ahead, and
     she was looking more to the left, which would be my side of the street.
     Then when the first shot was fired, she turned to the right toward him
     and he more or less slumped forward, and it caused me to wonder if he
     were hit, although I couldn’t say."


He had his finger on the shutter button of his camera when the 1st shot went off causing him to snap a photo at that instant. In effect creating a time stamp of the event - versus his recall of what he was seeing.   ???

In the world I live in the photo he took at the instant of the shot is the better record of what was occurring.

Truth is that the official story changed as evidence come up that caused the previous story to be no longer sustainable.

3 casing can only be likely proof of more than 2 shots from 6th floor of TSBD.
As the sequence "eject shell, fire shot, eject shell, fire shot, eject shell and no shot" is as plausible as "shot, eject shell, shot, eject shell, shot, eject shell"

So now you are left with injuries... Initially Connally with multiple wounds from most likely 1 bullet and Kennedy with 2 wounds from clearly 2 different, with the both Connally's insistence on Kennedy injury from 1st shot followed by Connally's injury from 2nd second shot. So as we know the initial official story was Kennedy neck shot than Connally shot than Kennedy head shot.

Tague's testimony of a ricochet injury, from what he indicated was the 2nd shot, meant that there were either 4 shots (Kennedy, Tague, Connally, Kennedy or Kennedy, Connally, Tague, Kennedy ) or as is now the official story the first bullet that hit both Connally and then Kennedy. (Kennedy/Connally. Miss hitting Tague, Kennedy.)

Possibility that there was only two shoots, Initial Connally\Kennedy neck wound, then Kennedy head wound and a fragment from that was ricochet onto Tague.

With the Bang.......Bang..Bang which is often testified, maybe the dual sound was shot and then impact into concrete for Tague injury??

Only 2 bullets, fixes the timing issue, makes LHO a better shot, and maybe explains the two close noises.

If a bullet went through the President's neck (autopsy said no bullets or fragments in neck from either back and front wounds), where did it go? (ie: most likely into Connally but if not, where? Ice bullet?)

That’s a good question. Where did the bullet from your “first missed shot” go?

John "Where The Hell Did The Baby Go?" Iacoletti,

Why don't you read the below interview, watch the PBS-NOVA segment, and the go looking for that baby you threw out?

If you don’t know what happened to the bullet from the “first missed shot”, why don’t you just say so?

John "Out With The Bathwater" Iacoletti,

Why don't you just read the interview and watch the video?

Forensic ballistics expert Luke Haag and his son did some tests with that kind of bullet and that kind of rifle, and Live Oak branches/twigs, and asphalt at the right angle, etc., etc.

Not "scientific" enough for you?

Or you don't like it because it gives a plausible explanation, convincingly presented with slow-motion photography, showing how that bullet could have "disappeared"?

Well, if you’re going to play the “could have” game, then the throat shot could have hit the asphalt and disappeared.
