Roy Kellerman was a U.S. Secret Service Agent and witness to the assassination of President John F. Kennedy on November 22, 1963. Kellerman died in 1984.
As the Secret Service Agent, Assistant in Charge of November 22, 1963 Shift Team #3, Kellerman was riding in the front passenger seat of the presidential limousine.
Kellerman was the nearest agent to the President during the attack, and testified to the Warren Commission that after he remembered hearing his first audible muzzle blast or mechanically-suppress-fired bullet bow shockwave, that the assassination then ended in a "flurry of shells" coming into the limousine that reminded him of a jet sonic-boom sound quickness.
Kellerman also testified to the Warren Commission, "I am going to say that I have, from the firecracker report and the two other shots that I know, those were three shots. But, Mr. Specter, if President Kennedy had from all reports four wounds, Governor Connally three, there have got to be more than three shots, gentlemen."
Kellerman further testified to the Warren Commission, "I turned around to find out what happened when two additional shots rang out and the President slumped into Mrs. Kennedy's lap and Governor Connally fell to Mrs. Connally's lap." (Kellerman Treasury department report 11-29-63, & WCR 18H724)
As clearly seen in the Zapruder film, Kellerman did not start his first turn rearward until Z-253/254.
