Mr. Liebeler. I understand. Did you have any idea where these shots came from when you heard them ringing out?
Mr. Tague. Yes; I thought they were coming from my left.
Mr. Liebeler. Immediately to your left, or toward the back? Of course, now we have other evidence that would indicate that the shots did come from the Texas School Book Depository, but see if we can disregard that and determine just what you heard when the shots were fired in the first place.
Mr. Tague. To recall everything is almost impossible. Just an impression is all I recall, is the fact that my first impression was that up by the, whatever you call the monument, or whatever it was——
Mr. Liebeler. Up above No. 7?
Mr. Tague. That somebody was throwing firecrackers up there, that the police were running up there to see what was going on, and this was my first impression. Somebody was causing a disturbance, that somebody had drawn a gun and was shooting at the crowd, and the police were running up to it. When I saw the people throwing themselves on the ground is when I realized there was serious trouble, and I believe that was after the third shot was fired.
Mr. Liebeler. Your impression of where the shots came from was much the result of the activity near No. 7?
Mr. Tague. Not when I heard the shots.
Mr. Liebeler. You thought they had come from the area between Nos. 7 and 5?
Mr. Tague. I believe they came from up in here.
