Recent testimony from ex-Secret Service agent Paul Landis has potentially thrown the long-accepted ‘magic bullet’ theory, that a single bullet killed John F Kennedy and injured another, into question
As the ‘magic bullet’ theory that describes how just one bullet killed John F Kennedy and injured another was cast into doubt by an ex-Secret Service agent, the testimony of a nurse who was in the emergency room with the former President has appeared to corroborate the new bombshell claim.
Phyllis J Hall was a nurse present in the emergency room after the president’s historic shooting. Now, numerous interviews she gave a decade ago appear to back up a claim by former Secret Service agent Paul Landis after she described seeing a bullet sitting on the fatally wounded president’s stretcher next to his head.
Mr Landis, now 88, broke his silence on Saturday, almost six decades after JFK’s assassination in Dallas. He did so to share a claim that turns the infamous ‘magic bullet’ theory on its head and even raises the possibility of multiple shooters.
On November 22, 1963, Mr Landis was in close proximity to the President as the motorcade, also carrying First Lady Jackie Kennedy, and Texas Governor John Connally Jr and his wife, drove through Dealey Plaza in Dallas. In the historic moment, a series of gunshots were fired, with JFK being hit in the head and neck while the Texas governor was hit in the back.
