The House Select Committee on Assassinations (HSCA) said that the shot that missed could NOT have come from the alleged window the Warren Commission (WC) claimed that Lee Harvey Oswald (LHO) fired from.
This means it had to come from another location and this means that there was a second shooter.
The HSCA Says...The Shot That Missed & Hit James Tague.

Here is James Tague Exhibit 1 that shows the mark on the curb. Tague Ex. 1:

Here is what Buddy Walthers said about the mark and where it must have come from.
Mr. LIEBELER. The light colored part is a part of the street and the dark colored part is the curb and there is what appears to be a ricochet mark on the curb.
Mr. WALTHERS. Yes; because it is high like this is the curb and this is the street, and it come along this edge of the curb.
Mr. LIEBELER. Toward the top of the curb?
Mr. WALTHERS. And it angled down--at the angle, you could almost just point it right back up.
Mr. LIEBELER. Toward the Texas School Book Depository Building?
Mr. WALTHERS. Evidently this shot must have went way high over that car--- the last shot, as they were fixing to go to the underpass---it must have been awful high to hit where it did.
Mr. LIEBELER. You say it was the last shot, why?
Mr. WALTHERS. I would say it was the last shot because of the distance it went down towards the underpass. Had there been another shot, it would have been way---would have went way back over there.
Mr. LIEBELER. The car had already been down--the car would have already been under and by the underpass?
Mr. WALTHERS. Yes.
The WC would say this in their Report (WCR) on page 117.

Had the WC bothered to call one of the lead motorcycle cops in the motorcade they might have gotten some clarification for this issue, but they did NOT call Starvis Ellis. Why not? Probably because he said something they did not want to hear. The HSCA said this about Officer Ellis.

(124) On August 5, 1978, the committee received information from former Dallas policeman Starvis Ellis that Ellis had also seen a missile hit the ground in the area of the motorcade at the time of the assassination. Ellis said he rode on a motorcycle alongside the first car in the motorcade, approximately 100 to 125 feet in front of the car carrying President Kennedy. Ellis said that just as he started down the hill of Elm Street, he looked back toward President Kennedy's car and saw debris come up from the ground at a nearby curb.
(125) Ellis said also that President Kennedy turned around and looked over his shoulder. The SECOND shot then hit him, and the third shot “blew his head up.” (HSCA XII, p. 23) (Emphasis added)

This is an important witness as he was a good bit ahead of JFK alongside the lead car, thus, his view of the Triple Overpass area was much better than many others in DP. He would tell a researcher this later on.

That's when the FIRST shot was fired. I was looking directly at the President, and I saw the concrete burst into a cloud of dust when that bullet hit the curb. . . .Then, while looking back at the President, I heard the SECOND shot. The President became rigid and grabbed his neck.

This shows us he saw the first shot hit the curb as the second shot hit JFK and it was NOT the head shot. Further bad news came via the HSCA when they wrote the following regarding the missed shot that hit the curb.

(119) During the acoustical reenactment of the assassination that took place in Dealey Plaza on August 20, 1978, the committee used the location of the mark on the curb described by James Tague as lone of the “targets” at which ammunition was fired from the sixth floor of the Texas School Book Depository and the grassy knoll to determine if acoustical impulses would result during the simulation which matched the acoustical impulses on the Dallas Police Department radio tape, made contemporaneously with the shots…
…NONE of the acoustical impulses that resulted from the shots at target 4 [spot where curb was hit near Tague] during the reenactment MATCHED THE ACOUSTICAL IMPULSES ON THE ORIGINAL Dallas Police Department radio tape that contains the sound of actual gunfire at the time of the assassination. That indicates in all probability the mark on the curb was NOT MADE BY A DIRECT SHOT FROM EITHER SUPPOSED ASSASSIN LOCATION. (HSCA XII, p. 22) (Emphasis added)

This one comment shows us a CONSPIRACY occurred in the murder of JFK. IF neither location could account for the direct bullet mark on the curb then that means a THIRD location was used and that definitely means a conspiracy. Why? Because the first shot was a supposed miss, but the HSCA said NO direct shot hit the curb, thus, that only leaves two other shots that both hit JFK and Governor John B. Connally (JBC) so how could they go on to the Triple Overpass area and hit the curb with such force as to cause a piece to break off and hit Tague in the cheek?
Ellis would see other things the WC did NOT want to hear about like a Secret Service (SS) agent taking a camera off a young boy because he had taken a few pictures of the limousine when it was parked at Parkland Hospital (PH). Why would this be done unless the limousine showed things they did NOT want known? Like? A hole in the windshield of the limousine as Ellis would say you could “put a pencil through it” when asked about it later on. Ellis said a SS agent tried to persuade him that it was a “fragment” and not a hole, but Ellis remained adamant and said, “It wasn’t a damn fragment. It was a HOLE.”
We can see why the WC were not interested in calling him as a witness.

Mr. WALTHERS. Yes.
He says the shot had to come from an “awful high” place to hit that curb like that. The Texas School Book Depository (TSBD) would apply to this, but the roof of the TSBD is more likely since the HSCA said the alleged window the WC claimed LHO fired from was NOT the source of the shot that hit the curb. Another place could have been the roof of the Dallas County Records Building too. He posited it was the last shot that missed, but again, even the WC could not confirm which shot it was.
