| Summary | The House Select Committee on Assassinations (HSCA) concluded in 1979 that President John F. Kennedy was probably assassinated as a result of a conspiracy, though it could not identify the other gunman or the extent of the conspiracy. This finding contradicted the Warren Commission's lone-gunman conclusion. |
| Origin | The HSCA investigation, conducted from 1976 to 1979, was prompted by public pressure and new evidence. |

|
| Evidence / consensus | The HSCA's acoustic evidence suggesting a second gunman has been largely discredited by later analyses. Most historians and experts still support the Warren Commission's conclusion that Oswald acted alone. |
