the first two came almost simultaneously, came one right after the other, there was a slight hesitation, then the third one.

I heard one. Then there was a little bit of time, and then there were two real fast bullets together

It is my opinion there was a greater space of time between the second and third shots than between the first and second. The three shots were fired within a matter of less than five seconds.

[statement] I heard a report and thought it was a backfire[,] then in a few seconds another report sounded and in another few seconds[,] the third report (testimony] and then we heard two more shots, and they were closer than the first and second (the statement is earlier)

It seemed to me like they just went bang, bang, bang; they were pretty well even to me.

BREHM said that a third shot followed and that all three shots were relatively close together. BREHM stated that he was in military service and he has had experience with bolt-action rifles, and he expressed the opinion that the three shots were fired just about as quickly as an individual can manoeuvre a bolt-action rifle, take aim, and fire three shots

"I distinctly remember three shots. There was an interval of approximately 5 to 6 seconds from the first to the last shot, and the three shots were evenly spaced."

He said that he heard the first shot when the President’s car was mid-way between Houston Street and the overpass; that at the second shot the car was about 25-30 feet further along; and the third occurred after it had moved another 15-20 feet. Some infer that in making this distinction of the distances travelled between the shots, he described the last two shots as being closer together as measured by the distance the President’s car  travelled between shots. But this relies on an exact measurement and forgets that the car DID slow down.

I heard one shot, and then the next shot went off-the one that shot him and I got on up and went on back, back where they make coffee at the end of the counter where I could see what happened and before I could get there, the third shot went off

WC: I heard a sound (..) and so I thought one of them motorcycles backfired (…)  but it wasn't just a few seconds that, you know, I heard two more of the same type of, you know, sounds, and by that time people was running everywhere. Trial: "Shortly after there were two more in rapid succession. When I heard the second noise, the third was followed nearly just right back to back."

The last two were closer than the first. In other words, it was the first, and then a pause, and then the other two were real close.”

Robert H.

1--2-3

after the third shot the second two shots seemed much closer together than the first shot, than they were to the first shot. (...) I would say to me it seemed like 3 or 4 seconds between the first and the second, and between the second and third, well, I guess 2 seconds, they were very close together. It could have been more time between the first and second. I really can't be sure.
