The Warren Commission’s Findings
President Lyndon B. Johnson established the Warren Commission, which spent ten months examining evidence. Their 888-page report concluded Oswald fired three shots with a Mannlicher-Carcano rifle: one missed, one hit both Kennedy and Connally (the “single-bullet theory”), and one delivered the fatal headshot. Despite reviewing ballistics, autopsy reports, and over 26,000 interviews, critics attacked their conclusions. Many questioned the rushed investigation, ignored witness testimony, and the physics behind that single bullet’s supposed path.
