JFK files reveal Dallas cop shot by Lee Harvey Oswald may have been the real gunman

The Mirror reports:

Fingers were pointed at Dallas police after John F Kennedy was assassinated in the city, the declassified documents reveal.

Those who believed the local force was behind the killing included Russian leader Nikita Khrushchev.

And one FBI informant even named patrolman JD Tippit, who was shot dead by Lee Harvey Oswald 45 minutes after JFK died, as the President’s actual killer.

According to a note sent to agents, the source was told by an H ­Theodore Lee that “the president was actually assassinated by Dallas police officer TIPPIT”.

The informant said Lee got the information from several previously active members of the Fair Play for Cuba Committee.

Interesting.
