Nellie Connally, wife of former Texas Gov.

Also John Connally stated that shots came from in front of the vehicle, but he was smart enough to pipe down about all this conspiracy nonsence after becoming a made man, with his appointment as Secretary of the Treasury.

The HSCA concluded that President Kennedy "was probably assassinated as a result of a conspiracy." The HSCA concluded that Lee Harvey Oswald fired the first, second, and fourth bullets, while an unnamed assassin fired the third bullet from behind the grassy knoll picket fence, located to the right and in front of the President.
When he is struck in his head, the President's head moved slightly forward 1 to 2 inches (25 to 50 mm), then, after a 0.11 second pause, the President's head, upper torso, and right arm all violently snap simultaneously upwards, then, backwards (towards the depository) and leftwards (away from the grassy knoll).
Governor Connally’s hat which he was holding in his right hand only inches away from his wrist when the wrist was shot completely through with a bullet has disappeared from the evidence chain after last being seen in the Dallas police department Chief’s office the evening of November 22.
