Mr. Specter. Did he comment on whether or not he heard a second shot before he felt this wound in his chest?
Dr. Shaw. He says that he did not hear a second shot, but did hear—no, wait a minute, I shouldn't say that. He heard only two shots so that he doesn't know which shot other than the first one he did not hear. He only remembers hearing two shots, his wife says distinctly she heard three.
Mr. Specter. Mrs. Connally said she heard three?
Dr. Shaw. Mrs. Connally distinctly remembered three shots.
Mr. Specter. And, Governor Connally said he heard two shots?
Dr. Shaw. Two shots.
Mr. Specter. Would that not be consistent with a situation where he was hit by the second shot and lost consciousness?
Dr. Shaw. Yes; the shock of the wounding might have prevented him from hearing the rifle report.
Mr. Specter. Would you have expected him to hear a third shot after he was wounded by a second shot?
Dr. Shaw. He didn't lose consciousness at that time, although he said he did lose consciousness during a part of the trip from the point of wounding to the hospital.
