President Kennedy had just looked in their direction and waved when she heard a rifle shot. Shortly thereafter, she heard another rifle shot and then a third. During these moments, she observed President Kennedy slump down into the car. After the first or second shot, she observed President Kennedy reach to the back of his neck just before he slumped down. When she realized the shots came from above her, she ran out into the street, but did not look up at this time.
