Eyewitnesses claim to have heard three shots fired during the assassination, and two of the shots were apparently fired less than a second apart. The Zapruder film supports the eyewitness claims because it clearly shows the moments when President Kennedy and Governor Connolly were shot, which were only two frames apart in the film. Oswald’s rifle would not have enabled him to fire off those shots in such a quick succession; it actually would have taken him about three or four seconds between firing his shots. Additionally, a piece of evidence that was nicknamed “the second magic bullet” was found on Governor Connolly’s stretcher. According to the Warren Commission, the bullet supposedly entered through Kennedy’s throat, passed through Connolly’s back, shattered a rib and continued on through his body to make contact with the radial bone, after which a bullet fragment struck Connolly in his right thigh. But, tests using the same type of bullet in a circumstance similar to the actual assassination suggest that more than one bullet was actually used to shoot both Kennedy and Connolly, which insinuates that more than one assassin was
