Mr. Brennan. Backfire of a motorcycle.
Mr. Belin. And then you later said something about a firecracker.
Did that have reference to the first shot, or something in between the first and last?
Mr. Brennan. I positively thought that the first shot was a backfire of a motorcycle. And then something made me think that someone was throwing firecrackers from the Texas Book Store, and a possibility it was the second shot. But I glanced up or looked up and I saw this man taking aim for his last shot. The first shot and last shot is my only positive recollection of two shots.
Mr. McCloy. Did you see the rifle explode? Did you see the flash of what was either the second or the third shot?
Mr. Brennan. No.
Mr. McCloy. Could you see that he had discharged the rifle?
Mr. Brennan. No. For some reason I did not get an echo at any time. The first shot was positive and clear and the last shot was positive and clear, with no echo on my part.
Mr. McCloy. Yes.
But you saw him aim?
