Tracy, I thought the same as you when I began my research. But in reading about assassins and snipers, they have an accuracy of 3 inches from 1000 feet. It is truly amazing. I believe that shots were "pulled up" from the County Building and Dal tex Bldg because Jackie did get in the way. Also, the caliber of a 22 or I believe higher could easily pass through a "safety glass" windshield and hit its target (which I believe that it did ~ although I think the South Knoll sniper was trying to hit JFK in the head ~ he only missed by a few inches). The assassins knew this fact. Snipers are well schooled in their trade. Finally, I simply could not believe that the limo did not have bullet proof glass (Thank you Vince Palamara for your help here).
