Dr. Robert McClelland observed a small bullet hole at the top of JFK’s forehead, near the hairline, and a large exit wound in the right rear skull. He was examining the head wound as other doctors were desperately trying to support Kennedy’s heartbeat and respiration.
He said he would be sure of this until the day he died.
It was the throat. Many say this was a trach wound, but the ER doctors confirmed it was a bullet entry wound.
