Testimony
Buell Wesley Frazier, Billy Lovelady and Otis Williams, three men who were standing on the front steps of the Texas School Book Depository, directly underneath the supposed sniper's nest, claimed that all the shots came from the general direction of the grassy knoll
Testimony
Frazier also claims that the bag Oswald had carried was a standard grocery store bag rather than a handmade package like the one that the Dallas police brought out of the Texas School Book Depository.
Testimony
He stated that Oswald had carried a paper bag about 27 inches (69 cm) long, a length consistent with Frazier's description of Oswald holding one end of the package cupped in his right hand and the other tucked under his armpit.
Testimony
States that the bag he saw was much too short to have contained the rifle, even in its disassembled state.

The only evidence that Oswald had carried anything at all resembling a rifle on the morning of 22 November 1963 was Wesley Frazier's account of Oswald carrying curtain rods.
Testimony
There is no credible evidence that Oswald brought a rifle into the Texas School Book Depository himself. Either he had at least one accomplice, or the rifle was brought into the building without his knowledge.
