According to a breaking story on UPI, weapons experts in Italy have demonstrated that John F. Kennedy had more than one killer.
UPI lead:
Italian weapons experts say tests on the type of rifle used to kill U.S. President John F. Kennedy show assassin Lee Harvey Oswald could not have acted alone.
This was proven by demonstrating that:
- The model of rifle used by Lee Harvey Oswald could not have been reloaded and fired 3 times in 7 seconds, so more than one shooter (and weapon) had to be involved
- It is not possible that a bullet would have remained intact after passing through Kennedy (and then hitting Connally), therefore more than one shooter was involved

The test results that were felt to be conclusive:
The Warren Commission report concluded that Oswald fired three shots with a Carcano M91/38 bolt-action rifle in 7 seconds to kill Kennedy in Dallas in 1963. However, tests supervised by the Italian Army showed it would take 19 seconds to get off three shots with that type of gun, the Italian news agency ANSA reported.
In one test, a bullet was fired through two large pieces of meat to simulate the assumed path of a shot that the Warren Commission concluded struck Texas Gov. John Connally after passing through Kennedy's body. In the test, the bullet ended deformed, while the bullet in the Kennedy assassination remained intact.
The tests were carried out in a former Carcano factory in Terni, Italy. Perhaps this is the factory that used to manufacture this model of rifle, but the UPI story doesn't state this explicitly. The tests were supervised by the Italian military.
This story was reported by the Italian news agency ANSA and was also picked up by the BBC. Perhaps some Italian speakers could find out more.
