The Conclusions of the Warren Report In this essay I will discuss the conclusions of the Warren report and

evidence which supports the statement, “President Kennedy was murdered

by a single gunman Lee Harvey Oswald, using a Mannlicher-Carcano

rifle.” The Warren report states that President Kennedy was killed by

a lone assassin, Lee Harvey Oswald who shot three shots from the Texas

School Book Depositary using his Mannlicher-Carcano rifle. The

evidence that supports that Oswald killed President Kennedy is the

palm print found on the Texas School Book Depositary’s sixth floor,

the ownership of the murder weapon and the psychological state of

Oswald. In this essay I will also discuss the evidence that doesn’t

support the above statement. The evidence to prove this is the

Zapruder film, the condition of the murder weapon and different

conspiracy theories. This essay will provide a detailed conclusion on

the assassination of President John F. Kennedy with final words on the

assassin.

The Warren Commission states that Lee Harvey Oswald assassinated

President John F. Kennedy using a Mannlicher-Carcano. The Warren

report found evidence to support the statement mentioned above. A

handmade wrapping paper bag had been found in the southeast corner of

the sixth floor, this was not a standard bag and could not have been

found in a shop. This bag had been made for a particular purpose since

it was the right size to store a rifle in a disassembled form. On this

bag appeared the print of the left index finger and right palm of Lee

Harvey Oswald. Resting partially on the windowsill were two small

cartons labelled ‘Rolling Readers’. These two cartons appeared to be

arranged as a convenient gun rest.
