Multiple Theories
The facts
This theory was introduced by the Warren Commission.
There was lack of damage to the Presidential Limousine so this suggests it was only one bullet. The zapruder film has been used by many people to reconstruct the scene of the incident and have concluded that it could have happened.
The Warren Commission stated that this theory was possible because of where the car was when the President was shot, where the shot came from, and the way the 2 men were sitting in the car when they were shot.

Some Americans believed that the Warren Commission was hiding evidence of the assassination. They were accused of not interviewing important witnesses and burying evidence. The crime scene was not handled very well either. Investigators were using their bare hands to pick up evidence and move the boxes that Oswald allegedly used to create a snipers nest.
Some people today agree with the Warren Commission’s findings. The single bullet theory is now referred to as the single bullet fact. Although many Americans agree with the theory there are still skeptics of the events that took place.
