Some spectators at Houston and Elm Streets, however, did see a rifle being fired in the direction of the President's car from the easternmost window of the sixth floor on the south side of the building. Other witnesses saw a rifle in this window immediately after the assassination. Three employees of the Depository, observing the parade from the fifth floor, heard the shots fired from the floor immediately above them (Conway, 01)." .

This particular passage shows that many witness testimonies are somewhat similar; that they all saw or heard shots being fired from the same general vicinity. All of these statements put the shooter on the sixth floor of the Depository around the time of the assassination. A related article written by the Times Harold reads, "A 20-year-old Dallas youth said Friday he will tell the Warren Commission that he saw a man run from the rear entrance of the Texas School Book Depository Building and disappear seconds after President Kennedy was assassinated [he goes on to say] I heard four shots, I don't care what they say (Conway, 01)!" His statement also provides incriminating evidence against Oswald. This boy states that he did in fact see a man running from the Depository, which would then again prove that a gunmen was in the Depository. The fact that he heard four shots also leads one to believe that Oswald fired all the shots. If there was a second gunner, the youth might not have heard the other shots.
"It was also believed by the WC that Jack Ruby, the man who shot Oswald, was just acting as an outraged man who wanted to spare Jacky Kennedy the trouble of a trial (Griffith, 96)." It was established by these investigators that Ruby was in no way connected to the mafia or any other crime organization apparent at that time (Griffith, 96). If Ruby was believed to have ties with important criminal figures in the original investigation, it would open up many possible conspiracy plots.
