JFK assassination conspiracy (House Select Committee on Assassinations)

RecordOBS-0091
CategoryHistory/Assassinations
StatusPARTIALLY SUBSTANTIATED
SummaryThe 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.
OriginThe HSCA investigation, conducted from 1976 to 1979, was prompted by public pressure and new evidence.
Claimed
  • There was likely a second gunman in Dealey Plaza.
  • The conspiracy may have involved individuals, but not the Soviet or Cuban governments, or major groups.
  • The FBI, CIA, and Secret Service were not involved.
Evidence / consensusThe 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.
> OBSERVER NOTE:
The HSCA finding is a notable exception to the lone-gunman consensus, but its key evidence has been challenged. The conspiracy remains unproven.
