After the assassination, many agents told Winston Lawson they were glad he’d handled the advance planning because they knew he was meticulous and every detail of the trip would have been well organized, Jeff Lawson said.
CNN —. Winston Lawson, the Secret Service agent who planned President John F. Kennedy’s motorcade route in Dallas and rode in a car immediately in front when Kennedy was assassinated, died November 7 in Norfolk, Virginia, his son, Jeff Lawson, told CNN.
Later that day, Lawson sat in when other investigators questioned Lee Harvey Oswald. “Oswald just answered the questions as asked to him. He didn’t volunteer any information. He sat there quite stoically, not much of an expression on his face,” Lawson said.
Jeff Lawson said his father was instructed to find a route that would travel through downtown Dallas and accommodate large crowds of spectators. Winston Lawson told the Warren Commission, which investigated the assassination, the route also offered wide streets that would allow buses in the motorcade.

When he was close enough he swung down hard with the sword. Perseus beheaded the Gorgon with a single stroke, having never looked directly at her.
Seizing the opportunity, Polydictes challenged him to do just that. He ordered Perseus to prove himself by killing the Gorgon and bringing her head back to his court as a gift.
Instead, Perseus used his wits and the help of the gods. By using the powers of both Athena and Hermes, the young and inexperienced hero was able to behead the fearsome Gorgon and live to tell the tale.
By planning his attack, he was able to acquire more tools to ensure his safety. Hermes, the god of thieves, inspired Perseus to use stealth and trickery to meet his goals. The hero became a thief himself, taking the eye of the Graeae to compel them to give him information.
The Gorgons groped around the space to find their sister’s killer, but Perseus had made use of Hermes’s magical sandals. He flew out of the cave, quickly dodging them and making his escape unseen.
Perseus flew away, stopping in Ethiopia to rescue Andromeda from a sea monster before returning to his own homeland. When he found King Polydictes attempting to force Danae into marriage, he pulled the Gorgon’s head from his bag and turned the king and all his men to stone. He soon returned the gods’ gifts to Athena.
King Polydictes, wishing to marry Danae but Perseus , sought a way to get rid of Perseus so he could not oppose the union. Polydictes asked for gifts from his men, and young Perseus had nothing to offer. He told the king that he would give him the head of the Gorgon if he could.

Normally, Secret Service details work in crowds and in close proximity to their protected asset. So, short-barreled rifles and pistols are most common. But, they also have overwatch and counter-sniper duties, and as such, need the greater range and accuracy of long guns too.
The US Secret Service’s primary duty sidearm from 1999 to 2019 has been the SIG Sauer P229 double-action/single-action pistol chambered in .357 SIG. But this year, its replacement with the Glock 19 Gen 5 MOS in 9 mm and the exclusive Glock 47 will be completed.
The Glock 47 will be another replacement for the .357 Sig. It’s not available for civilian consumers and was manufactured exclusively for the US Customs and Border Protection. The G47 integrates a full-sized slide into a G45 frame. It uses a 4.5-inch barrel similar to the G17 and is compatible with G19X, G17, G34, and G45 magazines.
No, the Secret Service uses the HK MP5 which is a 9x19mm Parabellum submachine gun. It’s the Navy SEALS that love to use the HK MP7 during their missions.

But he now acknowledges that was incorrect. Law enforcement confirmed later that day a Capitol Police officer pulled the trigger.
George Hickey, a secret service agent during JFK’s presidency, was holding an undisclosed AR-15 assault rifle loaded and ready to fire while sitting in the vehicle directly behind JFK’s automobile. There are only one or two pictures in existence that prove this was the case.
The bullet that exploded in JFKs brain shortly after impact was simply too small to even be loaded into Oswald’s firearm. This information is known as “ballistics evidence” which is bullet and firearm information used by forensics departments to solve crimes around the world.
Also, what we don’t hear about in history books is that the bullet that was responsible for killing JFK was a hollow point round from an AR-15, which was not a bullet taken by the rifle that Lee Harvey Oswald was using during the shooting.
We typically hear about Lee Harvey Oswald who supposedly shot three bullets from a bolt action rifle in less than 6 seconds. That’s less than 2 seconds to load the bullet by hand, aim the rifle at the moving target, and pull the trigger under duress.
Additionally, he often spoke about curbing the power of “secret societies”. In my mind, Oswald was not the primary perpetrator in JFK’s death. Sure, Oswald was guilty, but there were clearly other parties guilty as well.
It’s possible that Hickey accidentally shot President JFK, but it’s uncertain how such an acute shot could have been made by accident – and then never investigated further. Regardless of what happened during the assassination, there are many reasons to suspect it was an inside job.
Also, oddly enough, the secret service destroyed much of their evidence and records of the event after they made their statements to the Warren Commission. To make matters worse, the secret service destroyed numerous photos of the crime scene that were never released to those authorities inquiring into the death of JFK.
Nearly 20 years ago, Menninger laid out the theory in "Mortal Error: The Shot That Killed JFK," a book premised on the work of Howard Donahue, a Baltimore firearms expert who in 1967 began probing ballistic and forensic evidence, and concluded that Hickey was the elusive second gunman whose "friendly fire" from street level killed Kennedy.
The second chapter of the Warren Commission's report on the Kennedy assassination includes a brief mention of Hickey:
As for Oswald, Menninger has no idea what motivated the man officially held responsible for Kennedy's assassination to fire a 6.5 mm Mannlicher-Carcano rifle from the sixth floor of the book depository, adding that "it's not germane to the ballistics analysis of the shooting" conducted by Donahue, who died in 1999 of complications of pneumonia.
Menninger is part of a small but vocal group of theorists who hold that after Lee Harvey Oswald rattled off multiple shots at the motorcade carrying Kennedy past the Texas School Book Depository, a Secret Service agent riding in a car immediately behind the presidential limousine grabbed his Colt AR-15 high-velocity rifle to return fire.
The Warren Commission concluded in 1964 that Oswald acted alone.
No eye witnesses have gone on-record claiming to have seen Hickey firing an accidental shot and the Secret Serviceman denied firing his weapon. And none of the seven other people riding in the follow-up vehicle — five Secret Service agents and two presidential aides — reported a bullet whistling past their heads.
But the theory nonetheless struck a nerve. After Menninger's book was published in 1992, Australian homicide detective Colin McLaren, convinced by Donahue's scientific approach, embarked on his own cold case investigation of Warren Commission materials.
