Mr. Specter. And when you say "he" you mean?
Mrs. Hill. The President's car. We were standing on the curb and I jumped to the edge of the street and yelled, "Hey, we want to take your picture," to him and he was looking down in the seat—he and Mrs. Kennedy and their heads were turned toward the middle of the car looking down at something in the seat, which later turned out to be the roses, and I was so afraid he was going to look the other way because there were a lot of people across the street and we were, as far as I know, we were the only people down there in that area, and just as I yelled, "Hey," to him, he started to bring his head up to look at me and just as he did the shot rang out. Mary took the picture and fell on the ground and of course there were more shots.
Mr. Specter. How many shots were there altogether?
Mrs. Hill. I have always said there were some four to six shots. There were three shots—one right after the other, and a distinct pause, or just a moment's pause, and then I heard more.
Mr. Specter. How long a time elapsed from the first to the third of what you described as the first three shots?
Mrs. Hill. They were rapidly—they were rather rapidly fired.
Mr. Specter. Could you give me an estimate on the timespan on those three shots?
Mrs. Hill. No; I don't think I can.
Mr. Specter. Now, how many shots followed what you described as the first three shots?
Mrs. Hill. I think there were at least four or five shots and perhaps six, but I know there were more than three.
