The WarrenCommission…
The conclusion reached by the Warren Commission was that Lee Harvey Oswald was working alone. Oswald is said to have fired three shots. The first shot struck President Kennedy in the upper back, passed through his body and then struck Governor John Connally. The second shot is said to have missed its target. The third shot struck the President in the head. The total time for the shots was 4.8 to 5.6 seconds
Was the Commission merely a cover-up? There is controversy over the issue even today.
