New JFK doc says President was shot by CIA secret agent
A TV documentary has sensationally claimed that US president John F Kennedy was accidentally killed by a secret service agent.
JFK: The Smoking Gun — due to be released in November — claims agent George Hickey fired from the car immediately behind Kennedy s in the chaos of the initial shooting.
The Warren Commission s investigation, which lasted ten months, concluded assassin Lee Harvey Oswald was acting alone.
But later investigations and conspiracy theories — including Oliver Stone s 1991 movie JFK — have claimed a second gunman may have been involved.
Now independent US cable broadcaster ReelzChannel has named its prime suspect — agent Hickey — who it says clumsily blasted JFK.
Its documentary uses evidence from author Bonar Menninger, who first set out his theory in 1992 book Mortal Error: The Shot That Killed JFK.
Retired Australian detective Colin McLaren also contributed to the programme.
McLaren, speaking at a Television Critics Association meeting in California, said: “We believe it wasn t intentional but a tragic accident.
“The lone gunman theory is nonsense and always has been.”
Hickey, who sued Menninger s publisher St Martin s Press and reached a settlement, died two years ago.
Kennedy was killed on November 22, 1963 aged 46 in Dallas, Texas.
