I do believe that when the chase cars began to speed up after Oswald's neck/shoulder shot on Kennedy, the car lurched causing the agent to inadvertently pull his trigger.

“The president is dead.” For those of us who can remember those words from 50 years ago, they are seared into our brains like letters sand-blasted into a granite headstone forever: clear, succinct, and unmistakable in meaning. How could this be? Things like this did not happen, especially in the America of 1963. But then a few days later, John-John, in his little top coat and short pants, saluted as the caisson went by holding his dad’s body covered by our flag. It was real all right, no doubt about it.
I had a personal connection to John Fitzgerald Kennedy. Just like the moment when I heard of his death, these moment(s) are also seared into my brain, and the memories of them are as clear and vivid as if they happened 10 minutes ago. The only difference is these are my moments with JFK. No one else ever had these moments, just me and the 35th president of the United States. Let us go back to November 5, 1960.
The most famous hotel in the Bronx was the Concourse Plaza Hotel on the corner of 161st Street and the Grand Concourse. Built in 1922, it was an elegant 12-story hotel three blocks from Yankee Stadium. Many of the Yankees had stayed there, including Babe Ruth, Mickey Mantle, and others. On Saturday, November 5, 1960, Senator John F. Kennedy was to deliver a campaign speech at the hotel. His fateful election to the presidency was now only four days away.
I had an after-school job delivering groceries and stocking shelves for Harry “the Grocer.” I worked for Harry every day after school until 6 p.m. and on Saturdays from 10 a.m. until 6 p.m., and frequently delivered to the Plaza.

Call me crazy, but I still believe it was a SS agent who ACCIDENTALLY fired that explosive head shot with his AR-15 from the chase car.
I save my sad remembrance for Sept 14 because that’s the day William McKinley was assassinated. This Kennedy guy just bores me.
OK, I’m sorry he was assassinated but can we quit the eulogizing of this double minded sex-addicted Democrat whose hard Leftist direction hadn’t yet been manifested but was seen later in his brother Teddy, probably the single most destructive person to America besides Obama?
How many are so confused about JFK’s confused statement “...ask what you can do for your country” - a Leftist “live-for-your-government” line if I’ve ever heard one.
Call me crazy but “just a kid from the Bronx” crap is BS. It’s like Al Gore growing up in his daddy’s hotel suite in the Fairfax hotel in DC is ghetto all of a sudden or something.
Oswald did it, alone.
Was the Secret Service using AR-15's at the time?
but LBJ bought the ammo
It is possible that those around the agent who fired the head shot were sworn to secrecy about what they saw or heard shortly thereafter.
There is NO WAY the SS would admit complicity in Kennedy's murder. That would've been the END of the Secret Service.
Amen! I am convinced that he was the sole and only assassin.
Both were killed by left-wing extremists.
I do believe that when the chase cars began to speed up after Oswald's neck/shoulder shot on Kennedy, the car lurched causing the agent to inadvertently pull his trigger.
I used to be into all the conspiracy theories. It's kind of fun to feel you have gleaned some secret knowledge that the rest of the public does not know about. I now believe Oswald acted alone. There is a great deal of evidence to support that he did, and only a bunch of half-baked theories that someone else did it.
There were more than a few witnesses who had been around guns all their lives in Dealy Plaza, none has ever said anything that would even remotely validate the SS gun accident theory. At any rate, IMO, I’d say the notion is barking up the wrong tree.
Note to author:
The Kennedy clan, politically speaking and for all intents and purposes, is dead. Give it a rest and let the miserable SoBs rest in peace.
I won't call you crazy, but that is a silly notion that is not supported by the evidence and was debunked long ago.
Also, why would an SS agent have his weapon out and pointed at JFK’s head in the first place?
