(29,257 posts)Secret Service agent Samuel Kinney, who drove the follow-up car, said, I saw one shot strike the President in the right side of the head. The President then fell to the seat to the left toward Mrs. Kennedy.
Agent George Hickey, also directly behind the President, said, I heard what appeared to be two shots and it seemed as if the right side of his head was hit and his hair flew forward.
Agent Emory Roberts, in the front seat of the follow-up car, said, I saw what appeared to be a small explosion on the right side of the Presidents head, saw blood, at which time the President fell further to his left.
I could not determine from what direction the shots came, but felt they had come from the right side.
Agent Clinton Hill said he saw the President slump noticeably to his left.
Another amateur photographer, Orville Nix, also filmed the assassination. Although viewing of this film by researchers is still restricted, an FBI report of what the film shows describes the head hit:
when the Presidents head suddenly snaps to the left and the car picks up speed as a man jumps on the left foot-hold.
