How many assassins were there when Kennedy was shot?

Answer 1

There were three shots that are believed to have taken place, though at first it was announced that there were only two. Witnesses spoke up and reported the third shot, and soon there was evidence of a shot on a telephone pole near where the president's car passed by. But the president was shot only twice.

I'm just going to add to this

the first shot went right through JFK's neck before hitting Governor Connally in the back and going right through his chest and the second hit JFK in the head shattering his skull.

The autopsy found two separate gunshot wounds, one to the head and one in the back.

It's a matter of some controversy as to how many shots were fired, but it does seem pretty clear that he was struck twice.

(You may have heard about the "single bullet theory". Despite the name, the theory does not suggest that Kennedy was hit by only one bullet, but rather that one of the bullets that hit Kennedy also caused the wounds sustained by John Connally, the Governor of Texas.)

Answer 2

The US Government wants its citizens to believe that there was only one lone assassin. This would make it easier for everyone if the law enforcement agency had captured that person and not have to look for some kind of conspiracy.

James Sutton, now know as James Files the self-confessed shooter of JFK and Mafia hit-man claims he was one of three hit-men sent from the Chicago area to shoot president Kennedy.

Answer 3

The Warren commission concluded that all the shots were fired by the one gunman, Lee Oswald. (There was some evidence that suggests the possibility of another gunman from another location. )

Answer 4

According to the Warren Commission, Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone- but he DID have a 'magic bullet'...
