According to the Warren Commission, the first shot missed, the second shot hit the president in the back and exited out his throat continued on and hit Connolly. The third, fatal head shot occurred a few seconds later. Again, for those who insist on misunderstanding: This is according to the Warren Commission, not according to me. As for the kind of bullets used, I don't know that info.

The bullet traveled 2000 fps to hit the president 5 1/2inches [14 Centimeters]below the Mastoid Process[there's a picture of the hole and the ruler], it hit no bones and exited out his neck[1772 to 1,779 feet per second] clipping his tie[photos of the tie]. It traveled 28 inches away[trajectory report]to hit Connelly near the right armpit[Doctor's report] clipping his rib[Doctor's report]and keyholed out his chest
leaving a 2 inch by 1/2 inch wound [Doctor's report]. At this point it had only hit one bone and is now flying sideways when it hit the wrist [3/4 inch wound] and buries itself in a shallow wound[very little soft tissue damage,[Doctor's report] in the thigh leaving an amount of lead in the thigh. The amount of lead in the wrist and the bullet add up to the original weight of 161 grains which is the same amount of the bullets from the Western Ammunition Company. Connelly had a broken rib bone and wrist bone. {Doctor's report]. Cloth from his clothing was found in his wrist.
The bullet and fragments were traced to Oswald's rifle and no other.
