(my EMPHASIS) CHARLES F. BREHM, a combat gunfire experienced, United States Army Ranger, World War II, D-day veteran, & very close Dealey Plaza attack witness, quoted only minutes after the attack, and while he was still standing within Dealey Plaza (11-22-63 "Dallas Times Herald," appeared only in the fifth & final daily edition, which mis-spelled his name) "I happened to be about fifteen feet away from the president when the FIRST SHOT HIT HIM. There is some discussion now as to whether there was one or two shots that hit him, but the first shot rang out, and, I was positive when I saw the look on his face, and saw him grab his chest, and saw the reaction of his wife that he had been shot, and at that time, which was probably a few seconds later --- the second shot rang out --- and he just, absolutely, went down into the seat of the car. There was a third shot that 'went,' and by that time i had grabbed my little five-year-old boy who was with me and ran away from scene of the thing, but, the only thing that I did witness --- and something I'm sorry I did witness, very honestly --- was that, the look on his face when that shot hit, and the look again on him and his wife's face when the shots started to ring out and it was, very obviously, that he was hit. The first two shots that were heard, and ---- the FIRST ONE HIT the president --- there was no doubt, whatsoever, because his face winced, and he grabbed at himself, and he slumped down. I do believe, without any doubt, that the second one hit him because he had an immediate reaction with that second shot. I do know there was a third shot but as I said by that time I had grabbed my boy and started to go." (my EMPHASIS) CHARLES F.

'He was waving, then the FIRST shot hit him and that awful look crossed his face.' " (my EMPHASIS) CHARLES F.

Pamela Brown Posted November 13, 2008 Share Posted November 13, 2008 The bloody leather of the back seat originally belonged to Vaughn Ferguson, who was with the limo after the assassination. This artifact was one of a number of his that was stolen from him by someone who was ostensibly going to have them appraised. These items were then sold at an auction.
