The
Warren Commission
was established by Lyndon Johnson after President Kennedy was
assassinated to investigate how the former President had been
killed. The Warren Commission Report is the official report
released by the government stating what happened to President
Kennedy. After almost a year of investigating, the Warren
Commission had concluded that Lee Harvey Oswald had acted alone in
killing JFK. The commission found that the shots that killed
Kennedy were fired from the sixth floor of the Texas School Book
Depositroy, where Oswald had worked. The report said that three
shots were fired from Oswald. One of the shots hit Kennedy in the
neck and pierced his throat and another bullet struck John Kennedy in
the head, the kill shot.
Lyndon Johnson established the Warren Commission to investigate
the assassination of John Kennedy.
The Governor of Texas, John Connally, was also injured in the
assassination of JFK. The Governor was in the same car as John
Kennedy as when they were driving through Dallas. The bullet that
struck Kennedy through the throat is said to have also struck the
Governor. This is a very interesting bullet as this bullet is
said to have caused all of Connally's injuries including the entry
wound into his back, his shattered wrist, a broken rib, and even an
injury to his thigh. This bullet is referred to as the "magic
bullet" since it was able to travel through multiple places on John
Connally's body. For more information on the magic bullet

Lee Harvey Oswald was the man who
killed John F. Kennedy.
The commission also found that Lee Harvey Oswald was not part of any type of conspiracy to kill the President.
