37 Shots in Dealey Plaza - update Jan. 4, 2025

---------- List of At Least 37 Bullets Fired in Dealey Plaza on Nov. 22, 1963 ---------

Most shots fired with silencer-equipped rifles. JFK hit 3 times on front, 3 times on rear, by snipers firing from at least 5 different angles.

01- Z143 to pavement in front of Phil Willis, commence fire shot. Bookkeeper Virgie Rachley stood in front of TSBD and insisted shot was from rail yard area. She saw the bullet strike the pavement in the left hand lane behind the limousine. Peggy Hawkins claimed 2-3 shots were from the railroad area. Motorcycle cop Jim Chaney heard the shot, turned his head left, and saw JFK was also looking over his left shoulder.

02- Z155 to pavement at left rear of limousine, commence fire confirmation shot with colored sparks. Zapruder frame highly altered with sudden huge front tire on LBJ yellow chase car, and chase car appears to float a foot off the pavement.

03- Z206 to JFK right shoulder, in 1.25 inches, fell out on Jerrol Custer x-ray exam table, underpowered. Seen to hit by Secret Service Agent Glenn Bennett. Purpose, like Saudi executioner jab to shoulder, was to make JFK extend his neck for next shot. JFK throat intact, so he yelled out “My God, I am hit” per agent Kellerman at WCR 2:73. This shot came in at a 30-45 degree angle (Jim Jenkins, Valuetainment video) so it likely came from a moderately high window at the book depository or Dal-Tex or Central Records. Being underpowered, it was likely intended to irritate JFK into jerking his head high for the Z220 shot.

04- Z220 to JFK throat via windshield from southern grassy knoll, intended for head, underpowered. Linda Gioanna Zambanini rates this as coming from a postal truck rear between the post office and the railroad tracks. Johnny Roselli claimed the shot was made by Marshal Caifano. It hit a silencer baffle and deflected 11 inches downward from the intended forehead target. Had it worked, JFK would likely have ended up in neurosurgery intensive care so John Liggett could punch a fake entrance hole from the rear, enlarge the true entrance at the forehead, and make it look like a book depository shot to fool Earl Rose. He had only been hired in June 1963 as an outsider above suspicion of local corruption. Not an insider, so run out of Dallas in 1968. Military aide General Godfrey McHugh ordinarily sat in the front middle of the limousine, but was told this time to sit several cars back. This allowed a clear view to the shooter. Humes did the autopsy, thinking the throat hole was from a tracheostomy. At midnight call to Malcolm Perry in Dallas, he learned of yet another bullet in the throat which he now had to cover up, with Jackie and RFK pestering every 10 minutes for release of the body to embalmer Tom Robinson. Humes assumed a shot from the book depository on the right crossed over to the left neck but he couldn’t find it. He kept hacking the half inch throat wound larger and larger toward two inches, fruitlessly searching. He finally tried the right side, since the bullet had come from the left front, and found it there. It was a forbidden bullet of the three to be explained, so Humes made this bullet disappear.

05- Z250 to area of external occipital protuberance, ended right of vomer bone, underpowered. As intended, JFK went into an instant coma dropping his hands and arms starting at Z251. He was propped up by the right door, Jackie’s holding his left elbow, and his back brace. Not obviously bloodied and not falling over, Umbrella Man mistakenly called for the second round of big blaster shots. The resulting mess therefore had to go to Bethesda for a big involved cover up. See Douglas Horne in “Altered History.” The entrance hole was seen by Robert Grossman, neurosurgeon, inside Parkland Trauma Room #1, and according to David Mantik an edge of the entry hole may be appearing on the edge of the Harper skull fragment, with a small trace of visible traced lead. This bullet trajectory was horizontal, so it likely came from the second floor Dal-Tex window of the Dallas Uranium and Oil Co., a CIA front.

06- Z286 to upper right forehead from storm sewer drain, exit visible on quality Moorman photo at cowlick. Entrance agreed on by Tom Robinson, Quentin Schwinn, Paul O’Connor, and Charles Crenshaw. Track through brain visible from Bethesda lateral skull x-rays. Exit visible on good copies of Mary Moorman photo at cowlick area. Mary Moorman photo done at Z316 and there is not huge exit hole in back of JFK’s head yet. Ejected JFK anatomical debris visible in Z286. Look at midpoint of shadow of Babushka Lady and you see the two-inch ejected plug of bone and hair flying to the upper left. The bullet trajectory is clear from the foregoing, and backtracks to the storm sewer opening. It has been partly filled in with concrete by the Dallas street department. They also mounded up asphalt three times to make the shot look impossible. But the more they cover up the more they incriminate the drain hole as a sniper location. There are multiple indications the shooter was Jack Lawrence, habitue of the Carousel Club and winner of the LBJ 1962 marksman contest at Randolph AFB. Sergio Arcacha Smith had a full set of Dealey Plaza drainage system blueprints for some explicable reason. The penetration hole through the forehead skin was excised at Bethesda with a prominent V-cut seen on some surviving autopsy photos. This is totally artificial and never done for a standard autopsy.

07- Z313 Harry Weatherford shot from Central Records roof, in back of head out as right temple flap wound. It hinged at the bottom and opened first at the top due to the thinner skull bone there. The high pressure thus burst out of a partially opened flap wound and jetted upward as seen on Zapruder. Dino Brugioni of CIA photo analysis said in Douglas Horne’s “Altered History” the true upward jet of blood and gore was three times as large in the real Zapruder film compared to what we see in the current tampered version that is available. The entrance hole was obliterated by the large exit wound of the next shot. Z313 left a big hollowed out right cranium. With JFK’s head flopped on its left side, the hollow right cranium rapidly filled with a pint or two of blood. Cupped in this reservoir was the material that was blown all over the trunk and Clint Hill and traffic cops in the next shot, although it was airbrushed away by the CIA’s tampering efforts to fake large parts of the Zapruder film hoax.

08- Z342/343 In at right temple, out at site of Z313 entrance obliterating it. Trick shot leaving one large head hole from 2 shooters. Zapruder frame 413 (Costella Combined Edit, low) and Z475 show the distraction con men at the fence line making smoke and noise. They are to take attention away from the storm drain shot and from this shot, which was made from the passenger rail cars parked beyond the automobiles of the northern grassy knoll. The rail cars show in the James Darnell film and the Life Magazine amateur photo. They were present in the original Phil Wilis film but censored when returned from Washington D.C. Lee Bowers was told to move these passenger rail cars out of the yard by 2pm but he didn’t get it done. Part of why he was fed doped coffee and then murdered by being shoved off the road driving near Midlothian. The two guys from Z475 show up in quality copies of Mary Moorman’s photo. Lee Bowers says he saw two guys at the fence who didn’t appear to be shooters, which suggests real shooters were somewhere else and needed to be looked for. Another reason the assassins didn’t like him and why he was murdered near Midlothian, and it was made to look like an accident.

------- prior shots in time sequence, following shots at unclear exact times ---------

09- hit windshield rim above and left of Kellerman's head. CE399 was a fake substitute for the bullet Sam Kinney found in the limo when LBJ's henchmen had him washing away blood evidence outside Parkland Hospital. The true original was copper FMJ full metal jacket except the pointy tip was lead. When it was noticed the CE399 fake had six grooves and lands, while Mannlicher-Carcano rifles only create four lands and grooves, yet another fake was switched in with the "correct" four lands and grooves. It also was magically 0.125 inches shorter. The dent in the windshield edging, above Kellerman's head and to the left, was due to a ricocheted bullet spinning clockwise as seen from above. Airport photos from the day before show the dent wasn't present then. This may have been a seventh contact bullet that ricocheted off the top of JFK's head and flattened on its side when hitting the windshield edging. cf bullet #32 from list below for trajectory type.

10- found by Jesse Curry slightly south of Elm St. south curb in grass, angle suggests another commence fire shot

11, 12- into Connally from third man on sixth floor, from west end of TSBD. There was no lone sniper, with three guys seen on sixth floor by witnesses. They likely escaped by rappelling down the elevator shaft when Wesley Buell Frazier had the power and phones turned off from the basement between 12:30-12:33 noon.

13- Harry Weatherford missed shot from Central Records roof to concrete pad near manhole cover south of grassy knoll. The gouging engraved bullet path points back directly to the north end of Central Records. When deputy Harry Weatherford was leaving the roof another deputy felt his rifle’s barrel and it was still warm. Weatherford is known to have mail-ordered a rifle silencer a couple of months before November 22, 1963.

14- bullet stolen by Deputy Buddy Walthers for his own personal curiosity per deputy Al Maddox.

15- Jean Hill bullet hitting grass at her feet, as related to her by Secret Service

16- another colored pyrotechnic signal shot, this time for cease-fire at grassy knoll, but largely ignored. This implies base pay for being a shooter and some level of bonus payment for sensational hits.

17, 18, 19- and maybe more past heads of Jean Hill and Mary Moorman, standing near yellow curb mark

20,21- and probably more past head of Malcolm Summers as he dove for the grass

22- ricochet off curb into right cheek of James Tague. When this was discovered by deputy Buddy Walthers he looked up the hill and could tell nothing was shot that way from the Texas School Book Depository. Too many tree branches in the way. He could tell the shot had to have come from Dal-Tex or Central Records, and was ready to say so at the Clay Shaw trial in New Orleans with Jim Garrison. But golly gee whiz, he was sent to raid a motel room a couple of weeks before that and somehow acquired a bullet to his heart.

23- found in limousine night of Nov. 22 by Thomas Mills & William Martinell of the James Young crew, denied by Gerald Ford

24, 25, 26- shell casing found later on roof of Central Records Building under A/C, and bullets on several roofs

27, 28, 29, 30- impacts heard by Malcolm Summers and Roy Kellerman (WCR 2:66) slamming inside limo

31- gouge into sidewalk west of book depository covered by police car Nov. 22, Penn Jones, Robert Groden

32- embedded in bubble top arch = holder in front of Connallys, found by Arlo Childers at Hess and Eisenhart repairs when they did body shop restoration work on the limousine so LBJ could use it to joyride and gloat, including the funeral of RFK

33- stretcher bullet as JFK entered Parkland halfway between earlobe and shoulder, seen by nurse Phyllis J. Hall

xx- fake = Paul Landis claimed loose bullet on seatback top. If true would require second hole in JFK shirt

34= Barbee specimen, rooftop near Stemmons

35= Haythorne specimen, roof of Massey building

36= Lester specimen

37= Dal-Tex specimen, brass shell with crimped edges, from roof. Likely a custom sabot preparation.

The Walder and Belmont bullets have disappeared.
