What did SS agent Kellerman mean by, "A flurry of shells come into the car?"

[Jake Maxwell]

Here's a good start on the meaning of flurry...
a number of things arriving or happening during the same period.
"a flurry of editorials hostile to the administration"
synonyms: spate, wave, flood, deluge, torrent, stream, tide, avalanche;

If SS agent Kellerman's testimony was taken seriously, the WC would have responded differently... Instead, they tried to lead the witness with hints and suggestions to coerce him to say he meant two shots, instead of a "flurry of shots."

And again, two does not equal flurry... and note, he used the word at least twice in his testimony...

Also, two is not a wave or a flood or a deluge or a torrent or an avalanche...

When Kellerman said "flurry of shots" and "flurry of shells", he obviously meant a few fragments.

Whatever it takes...

... and just why would Specter and Ford and the WC be so insistent in leading Kellerman to alter what he meant by the word "flurry?"

...I suppose they had the same concern stated in J.E. Hoover's memo - to convince the public that only one man assassinated the president... and you just can't do that with a "flurry of shots."

That was Harvey cranking that creaky old action bolt as fast as he could, alright.  Scoring bulls eye after bulls eye. Beating just about every expert who's ever tried it - and those experts had the advantage of doing it in controlled environments and at stationary targets no less.

Yep, old Harvey was a real sharpshooter raining down those flurry of shells/fragments.

Yes, an impossibility with bolt action... and testimony from one Special Agent refers to the shots coming in, in "very rapid succession" and another Special Agent testifies that they were coming in "quick succession."
Very rapid succession is certainly not something that could be done with a bolt action rifle...

Another Royell Storing like response, do you honestly believe that Kellerman saw the individual bullets enter the Limo? LOL!
