I was just watching 3 shots that changed America. Abraham Zaputer, the guy that shot the actual film said just two hours after it happened the 1st shot hit JFK and he slumped over then the 2nd shot hit him in the head. This is completely contrary to the warren commission report.

How so?

http://www.archives.gov/resear...hapter-3.html#missed

The Warren Commission never specified which of the 3 missed, just that one missed and 2 hit, and outlined pros and cons for each of the 3 shots being "the one that missed", so how is Zapruder's testimony completely contrary to that?

And why start yet ANOTHER thread when there's already dozens???

It is likely (but not definitive) that the first shot was obscured by the tree, because of Oswald's training in the Marines.

the warren comission stated that JFK was shot by one man, why there are theories that he was shot on the side of his head as well as his lower neck- namely two seperate people. its not exactly about the three shots fired...but who shot them

Simple. Some people refuse to believe one man could do it, so they make up complicated conspiracy theories to explain it.

The CTs say there were multiple shooters.

The physical evidence says there was only one.

I'll believe the physical evidence.

This is totally unlikely but LHO could have fired 4 shots reached down and picked up one of the cartridges, then got ride of it. The only reason investigators say there are 3 shots, is because of 3 cartridges on the floor. 3 on the floor is speculation not proof of the number fired.

Only three shots were heard. That is why it is said he fired three shots.

What proof of a fourth shot do you have?

The majority of the witnesses reported three shots, as I recall.

Why bicker about this? JFK is dead, Ruby is dead, Oswald is dead, and if there was a second gunman, that guy is probably dead and buried long since as well.

In any case, we won't know the whole story anyways. We've gotten all the facts we can get, the rest will be just idle speculations..

The facts have been proven (LHO as the lone gunman), the rest is CT specuations and wishes.
