After being summoned by Officer Tippit, Oswald came over to the passenger side of the patrol car where they spoke through an open window. After a brief conversation, Officer Tippit got out of his car and as he was walking toward the front of his patrol car, Oswald suddenly shot him three times at point blank range with a .38 caliber revolver. After Officer Tippit fell, he was shot in the head by Oswald, which proved to be the fatal shot. A citizen who witnessed the shooting used the police radio in Officer Tippit's patrol car to alert other officers of the shooting. Officer Tippit served with the Dallas Police Department for 11 years. He was a WWII veteran of the US Army and recipient of the Bronze Star. He is survived by his wife, daughter, two sons, parents, four brothers, two sisters, and his grandmother. He is buried in Laurel Land Memorial Park, in Dallas, Texas.

So spare us all what you want to be the story, your posts have been bogus. My main focus is the JFK final shot that ended his life. What is not in dispute is Two entrance wounds, first under the collar on the Presidents Back. And the crisp hole punch approximately 2 inches from the Presidents ear inward in his scalp. The skull intact around this entrance wound, that exited at the open flap of missing head, skin and brains. In other years I noted that the doctor who did the tracheotomy to help the President breath said and made notes that the wound the tracheotomy was done on top of was an entrance wound. Combine the smell of gunpowder permeated the motorcade at ground level with the possibility of more than one gun and directions of projectiles the Warren Commission Report was not worth the money spent on making it a product that would hold up over the years. My final thoughts are that the kill shot was at street level behind the Secret Service Limo, the Secret Service Limo's glass was intact. I am now going to leave it alone and move into enjoying a nice couple of days with my people.

There is a lot of dispute regarding whether Oswald shot Tippit. Tippit was killed immediately, so his history is irrelevant regarding who shot him.

The flap was an avulsive wound that was caused by the inner pressure inside the skull caused by a bullet that entered the head at the scalp line, at the point where Malcolm Kilduff pointed in his press conference.
