That's the very first thought that came to my mind. Given today's pic and video tech, it just wouldn't surprise me. But seriously, even that long ago, is it truly possible that the president's driver could have somehow slipped through all the cracks to have done this? And after all this time, NOW it's only coming up that maybe it was the driver? Could the entire crowd have been so distracted that nobody noticed the president's driver fired a handgun? I dunno, I can't take this as truth yet.

I seriously doubt it myself.

First off if he shot JFK at that close distance the JFK's head would have gone to the right thus causing him to collapse to the left. But his head goes to the left, causing his body to lean and collapse to the left. That is one issue I have always had with the shots from the Texas School Book Depository which was on the left of the motorcade.

And second, why, right after the shots rang out, did the police run up the knoll and not towards the depository?

I am not saying that Oswald did not shot JFK, but from the impact reactions and reaction of the police on the route there is inconsistencies. I guess we will just have to wait until 2075 when all the records are scheduled to be released. I think that is the date I heard.

actually, on closer inspection, what appears to be the driver's hand, is the sun's glare off of the man in the passenger seat's hair.

here it is more clearly. you can clearly see it's the head of the man in the passenger seat.

i think oswald made the first shot that got jfk in the neck. the devastating shot though, clearly came from the direction of the grassy knoll, and there are just WAY too many strange things that happened that day for it to be a matter of pure coincidence.

Holy cow!  It sure looks like the driver put a second bullet into him.

And the video's not doctored.

Here's the Zapruder film shown in several ways.  And the first versions look exactly the same.

However, when you get to the version that centers Kennedy and Connollly (starting about 3:20), it's clearer.  And in this version, well, I dunno ...

That's *EXACTLY* what I thought.  But then, I watched it again several times.  And I wasn't so sure again.

Yes.. You are right...

In watching the the version you shared, Scott, the sunlight reflection off the window or possibly the driver's hair looked like it flashed a little too long after the President was shot. So now I'm back to feeling suspect about the driver.

But again with the driver, it didn't really look like the limo sped up at all during or after the gunshots. I can't help thinking that stepping on the gas to get the president out of there would have been a fairly high priority, unless the driver didn't hear the shots and was ignorant of what was happening, but what are the chances of that?

Kennedy's death has always been something I'm morbidly fascinated with and I have seen the Zapruder film several times.  I watched every version that was posted here and I see absolutely nothing that looks like the driver firing a gun at Kennedy.  The damage was horrific as is, but if the driver had shot him, the damage would be even worse.  I don't believe Oswald was the shooter, but there is no way you will convince me that the driver fired at close range and did not completely blow Kennedy's head off -- sorry, I know that's disturbing, but it's what would have happened at that range.

Brain matter was found on the inside of the windshield, the front hood and all over the interior of the car. His wife dove out on the trunk lid to retrieve a part of his skull and brain.
It is quite indicative of a shot high and behind.
Two witnesses were on the floor below the shooter and did hear him chambering the successive rounds and heard the ejected brass hit the floor above them.
Lee Harvey Oswald did indeed shoot the president, twice.

When I focus primarily on the (and I hate how graphic this is/was) 'splatter' of the President's skull, it seems to splatter and explode forward. I can't comprehend that happening from a frontal entry point. It's certainly quite different, but in every deer carcass I've helped process, the entry wounds were always holes, and the exit wounds, be them body or skull, were typically messy. In that regard, I can't conceive of the driver making the head shot.
