Tina Towner Pender is on facebook. I spent an hour or two looking for the youtube of her saying that the first shot was just after or just before she stopped filming. Shot-1 was as i said at frame T141 (in her ear)(at T137 from the Carcano's muzzle's point of view), & she stopped filming at T142. The youtube was of her standing on the corner talking, at one of the 50th anniversaries or some such thing, i might find it one day.

“Now I was beginning to leave when I heard the sky fall in --
the loudest crack of a rifle I had ever heard! At that time I had
the least notion it was a gun. The truth of the matter was that
I thought it was a firecracker."
-- Teen Magazine, June 1968
"I've known Tina Towner since 1978 and my memory has been
that she said the first shot came just a second or two after she
stopped filming. However, in a March 30, 1996 oral history,
Tina said it was four to six seconds. So either I have mis-
remembered, which is possible, or her memory has changed."

"Tina has always said, and we've been good friends since 1978,
the first shot came right after she stopped filming. She has
always believed the first shot came within a second or two."

"I believe Daddy was about to head down the hill to get another
photo, but there was not enough time before the first gunshot
sounded only a second or two, if that, after I stopped filming."
