  • Charles F. Brehm and his 5-year-old son, Joe, were standing in the Dealey Plaza north infield grass, a few feet south of the south curb of Elm Street, across the street from Abraham Zapruder and the Dealey Plaza grassy knoll. They can both be clearly seen in the Zapruder film.
    Brehm said President Kennedy was approaching him and only 30' away when his son then started to wave to President Kennedy, and the President started to wave back, then Brehm heard the first shot he remembered hearing.
    When the President was 15' to 25' away, and had just passed, Brehm remembered hearing a second shot that struck President Kennedy in the head. Brehm watched the President's "hair fly up," "ripple," and "bits of brain and bone went flying" and "then roll over to his side" then President Kennedy "slumped all the way down."
    Brehm stated he distinctly remembered hearing another separate shot after the President's head had already exploded that missed hitting anyone, and that was the specific reason that Brehm immediately dragged his young son to the ground and covered him protectively.
    Charles Brehm was not called to testify publicly in front of the Warren Commission, but he did supply a deposition.

      The “whistle” or “buzz” may be the product of vortex shredding from the projectile. If the frequency of the shedding is within the human audio spectrum, you may hear it. The volume of air affected by a bullet is very small. Hence, you will hear it only if it is close by.
      Bullets from real guns only 'zing' if they ricochet off something hard at a fairly shallow angle. This causes them to tumble very rapidly and the turbulence of this motion as they fly off, sounds like a high-pitched whine that fades into the distance.Dec 18, 2022
      Bullet could make 2 different sounds, one if it hits certain frequency when flying and another bouncing off target at shallow angle causing bullet to tumble and change sound?
      Someone shot twice would remember the same exact sounds?
      Same weapons even?

    • @Gigi1111Layna

      The "whizzing bullets" can be heard at the distance this man said, and it was also recorded. Everyone says they heard 3 shots. I heard a recording of 3 shots with the "whizzing sound" that the TV crews recorded, like the ppl screaming too. But I've also heard shots, specially cleared of background noise, absolutely unaltered of 5 shots. 3 and 4 very close succession. But the 1st was the throat, and the 5th was the head shot. Silencers were used by some to trick the ppl. But the First and fifth were in absolute time to the millisecond of the target. I can only promise that the two shots in close succession, the 3rd and 4th, were not one. Yes, they were absolutely in close succession and to the untrained or ppl not aware of these sounds, they could get it mixed up..and think they heard only 3..especially if far away. No way were any shots similar to "firecrackers" as some suggested. Though that "whizzing" could be mistaken for a firework...from a good 50 ft away.

      I think everyone realizes that the neckshot was an entry wound. The idea that a bullet on a 17-degree downward angle could hit JFK in the back to the left of his shoulder blade and travel upward to exit his neck is patently absurd. Only the Apologists who believe in the single shooter nonsense of the Warren Report cling to that. JFK would have to be levitating above the Limo outstretched for that to be true.

    Brehm recalled the event well and told the truth. He got harassed after and was angry with Mark Lane because his comment about the piece of brain or skull that flew backward and to the left was another piece of inconvenient evidence for the WR Apologists. He regretted saying what he had witnessed because it conflicted with the WR and anyone or anything that conflicted with the WR was considered either a lie or an unreliable witness.

    I guess in all the chaos, Mr. Brehm didn't hear the third shot. But seeing how the second and third were virtually on top of each other, and from the area he was at where echoing would've likely been the loudest, he may have not been able to discern a third shot.

      a) Victims' reactions in Zapruder's film clearly demonstrate they are hit by the same bullet, and ergo, from behind.
      b) Within 1-2 frames of Kennedy being hit, Connally's lapel pops out, his shoulder is driven down, his hat flips up, and his expression violently contorts between frames from the blow. One bullet, and ergo, from behind.
      c) Connally was demonstrably seated lower, inboard, and turned sharply to the right.
      d) Victims' wounds line up on a demonstrable trajectory and track straight back to the window.
      e) View of the entry wound on Connally's back would demonstrably have been blocked by Kennedy's body, meaning the same bullet has to have gone through both of them.
      f) If you could have been bothered to actually examine the recovered bullet before lecturing me it's "intact," you would have seen it is in fact badly crushed at the nose and flattened down one side.
      g) That condition is consistent with going through Kennedy without hitting bone, slowing and tumbling on leaving him, as it would have done, then broadsiding its way through Connally's ribs, as medical and forensic evidence clearly demonstrate.
      h) That bullet was matched to Oswald's rifle.
      i) In fact, all bullets and fragments ever found were matched to Oswald's rifle.
      j) The later bullet, on the other hand, smashed directly into Kennedy's skull and exploded, causing a massive exit wound at the temple, again consistent with a shot from behind.
