The Warren Commission Report
The Warren Commission
President Johnson created the President's Commission on the Assassination of President John F. Kennedy (commonly called the Warren Commission) 7 days after the assassination, and 10 months later, the Commission issued its report. The Collection contains 363 cubic feet of Warren Commission records.
Conclusions
The shots which killed President Kennedy and wounded Governor Connally were fired by Lee Harvey Oswald. This conclusion is based upon the following:
(a)The Mannlicher-Carcano 6.5-millimeter Italian rifle from which the shots were fired was owned by and in the possession of Oswald.
(b)Oswald carried this rifle into the Depository Building on the morning of November 22, 1963.
(c)Oswald, at the time of the assassination, was present at the window from which the shots were fired.
(d)Shortly after the assassination, the Mannlicher-Carcano rifle belonging to Oswald was found partially hidden between some cartons on the sixth floor and the improvised paper bag in which Oswald brought the rifle to the Depository was found close by the window from which the shots were fired.
(e)Based on testimony of the experts and their analysis of films of the assassination, the Commission has concluded that a rifleman of Lee Harvey Oswald's capabilities could have fired the shots from the rifle used in the assassination within the elapsed time of the shooting. The Commission has concluded further that Oswald possessed the capability with a rifle which enabled him to commit the assassination. (source)
24 hrs after
Medical evidence
President Kennedy was rushed to the hospital and doctors made all attempts to save his life. Autopsy was carried out at Bethesda naval hospital.
The medical evidence should have provided vital clues to the investigation of the assassination and determine the cause of death. The focus of the medical investigation is the bullet wounds. Read from this website about various medical aspects and possible errors. (some images can be disturbing)

A list of witnesses
Over six hundred people witnessed the assassination of President Kennedy. Regrettably,the Warren Commission did not conduct an analysis of witness accounts, nor did it give any credence to the accounts of those witnesses who thought the shots came from the grassy knoll.
All witness accounts obtained by the Warren Commission can be found by clicking on the witness' name at the left. A white dot on the Dealey Plaza photograph represents the approximate location of the witness at the time of the fatal shot.
Gordon Arnold
Gordon L. Arnold, [a] former Dallas soldier, said he was stopped by a man wearing a light-colored suit as he was walking behind a fence on top of the grassy knoll minutes before the assassination. Arnold, now an investigator for the Dallas Department of Consumer Affairs, was not called by the Warren Commission and has not been interviewed by the House Assassinations Committee. source

Beverly Oliver (Babushka lady) - witness
Beverly Oliver was born in 1946. She worked as a dancer at the Colony Club. It was next to the Carousel Club (owned by Jack Ruby).
Oliver was standing on the south side of Elm Street when John F. Kennedy was assassinated. She was therefore one of the closest witnesses to the shot that killed Kennedy. She filmed the motorcade with a Super-8 Yashica movie camera but claimed that it was taken away by a Federal Bureau of Investigation agent. (source)
The investigation
It's the most controversial case in modern American history. Did Lee Harvey Oswald kill John Kennedy by himself, or was there a conspiracy? And if there was a conspiracy, did it include Oswald?

Lee Harvey Oswald
The investigation into the assassination of President Kennedy also focusses on the personality and circumstances of the main accused Lee Harvey Oswald.
The Commission has found no evidence to show that Oswald was employed, persuaded, or encouraged by any foreign government to assassinate President Kennedy or that he was an agent of any foreign government, although the Commission has reviewed the circumstances surrounding Oswald's defection to the Soviet Union, his life there from October of 1959 to June of 1962 .
