“Explosive New JFK Footage: Is It the Shocking Evidence That Could Finally Unravel the Mystery of Multiple Shooters?”
The Warren Report concluded that Oswald had fired all three shots from a window on the sixth floor of the Texas School Book Depository, where he worked.
But the case was far from closed.
A man named Abraham Zapruder, one of thousands of people standing along the motorcade route that day in Dallas, captured the shootings on his 8mm home movie camera.
At 26 seconds and 486 frames, it would come to be one of the most thoroughly examined films in history—and a prime piece of evidence for the Warren Commission and the subsequent conspiracy theories.

At first, it was assumed that Kennedy and Connally had been hit by separate bullets.
But the Zapruder film threw a wrench in that notion. The Warren Commission’s analysts concluded that JFK was shot sometime between Frames 210 and 225 (a street billboard blocked Zapruder’s view at the crucial moment), while Connally was hit no later than Frame 240.
In other words, the two men were hit no more than 30 frames apart.

However, FBI tests revealed that Oswald’s rifle could be fired no faster than once every 2.25 seconds—which, on Zapruder’s camera, translated, to 40 or 41 frames.
