http://mcadams.posc.mu.edu/shots.htmThanks to some posts here by David Von Pein and John Reagor King, I've added several Depository witnesses. I've also reduced the number of "two location" witnesses. Some of then were not bona fide "two location" witnesses, but merely witnesses who were uncertain as between two locations. .John -- The Kennedy Assassination Home Pagehttp://

But inconsistent with witnesses actually situated on or behind the Grassy
Knoll. They heard no shots from the knoll nor saw anyone with a weapon in
that area. In the photo below we can see Mary Woodward still smiling
after the second shot that wounded the President in the back. Both the
President and Governor are in distress but the crowd doesn't realize it
yet. The way Woodward is positioned her back is parallel to the front of
the TSBD and her head is turned facing the Limousine that has already
passed her by. She is looking southwest. Therefore the shots fired at the
Limousine from the 6th floor window would have come from behind her.
What we do know witnesses on top of the Grassy Knoll did not hear any
shots coming from that direction. As the motorcade proceeded down Elm
street the last shot from the 6th floor window would have come from almost
over her head. If there was an echo effect off the front of the TSBD it
may have sounded more to her right because her right ear was now turned to
the building. Whatever auricular impression Woodward had we know from
witnesses standing on the GK there were no shots fired from up there.
