The official Warren Commission concluded that Lee Harvey Oswald acted completely alone in killing President Kennedy.
In 1964, a special government group called the Warren Commission looked into the murder. They decided that Lee Harvey Oswald fired three shots from a sixth-floor window of the Texas School Book Depository. They said he acted alone. No one helped him. Case closed, or so they hoped. But Oswald was shot dead just two days later by a man named Jack Ruby. Because of this, Oswald never stood trial, and the public never got to hear his side of the story.
A majority of the American public does not believe the official lone-gunman theory.
Trust in the official story broke down almost immediately. Polls show that about sixty percent of Americans believe there was a conspiracy to kill JFK. Many suspect a second shooter was hiding on a grassy hill nearby. This deep doubt did not happen in a vacuum. Over the decades, the government kept many files secret. This lack of clear information made people lose trust in public officials, making space for dozens of different theories to grow.
Some researchers argue that forensic evidence points to more than one shooter.
Some independent experts have challenged the official bullet evidence. For example, researcher Josiah Thompson studied the crime scene photos and medical records. He argues that the way blood and bone scattered shows Kennedy was hit from two different directions. Other scientists have used math and probability to look at the bullet fragments. They argue that the evidence makes the 'one shooter' theory highly unlikely, suggesting at least three bullets were fired by different guns.

Scientific View
Scientists and forensic experts have spent decades trying to reconstruct the shooting using modern technology. They look at laser scans of Dealey Plaza, audio recordings of the gunshots, and wound patterns. While some computer models show that a single bullet could indeed cause multiple wounds, other mathematical analyses of the bullet fragments suggest a second shooter is highly probable. For science, the case remains a complex puzzle where different methods often lead to completely opposite results.
Key Arguments
- Laser scans reconstruct the bullet trajectories.
- Acoustic studies analyze audio recordings from the scene.
- Mathematical models test the probability of a single bullet path.

The key insight
“Most Americans do not believe the official government story that a single man killed President Kennedy.”
Founder's Note
One thing my grandmother first taught me and still reminds me of till this day is that — “Knowledge Is Power” — and those words stayed with me ever since. I believe they sparked this creation.
