I'm a relative newcomer' to JFK assassination research, so please forgive me if the following question has been previously addressed and answered elsewhere; (unfortunately, my own searches have not thus far turned up any worthwhile answers).
My question concerns the 4-Panel set of briefing boards' made during the so-called 2[SUP]nd[/SUP] NPIC Event' (i.e. that presided over by Homer McMahon, Ben Hunter, et al, on Sunday, 24 November 1963). Recall that these are the official' (previously Classified) briefing boards that were eventually released by CIA and placed in the National Archives in 1993.
An inspection of these 4 individual briefing boards readily reveals that a number of small blue and red triangles have been carefully placed at certain positions along the time-line' created from image enlargements of the Zapruder film. Most notably, on briefing board Panel IV, both a red and a blue triangle have been annotated precisely beneath the fatal head shot' image (i.e. Zapruder frame 313).
Looking at all four Panels, there are a total of 6 little triangles positioned along various specific points on the time-line: 3 red; and 3 blue. The first red triangle (R1') appears on Panel I around the time when JFK's limo starts to go behind the Stemmons freeway sign. The first blue triangle (B1') also appears on Panel I, but is placed further along the time-line to a point where JFK's limo is starting to re-emerge from behind the Stemmons freeway sign. Panel II contains a single blue triangle (B2'), whereas Panel III reveals just a single red triangle (R2'). As mentioned above, Panel IV finally shows both red and blue triangles (R3' and B3') precisely beneath the fatal head shot.
During my own (limited) internet searches, I have not come across any official explanation for the meaning of these little triangles. However, it would seem reasonable (to me, at least) that these triangles were placed on the briefing boards to indicate the precise time of shots' fired at the motorcade.
If this is the case, isn't it also reasonable to conclude that the official' CIA/NPIC interpretation of the event time-line was that a total of 6 shots were fired at JFK; 3 by each of two separate shooters (i.e. Shooter #1' fired at the time/position of the Blue triangles, whereas Shooter #2' fired at the time/position of the Red triangles)?
I'd be very interested to hear what other researchers have deduced from this annotation of the briefing boards.
