The three shots which hit Tippit's torso were not "in the same (imaginary) vertical line". In fact, far from it.

Hello Bill, when I saw this I remember that I saw it from the SIDE as if Tippit was standing with the right foot in front almost side ways thus making a smaller target, which is a typical shooting position, however I do not know if his wounds were ever probed in an autopsy. Obviously it's worth clarifying ...
Howard Gee:
Cop, for whatever reason, decides to stop suspect and talk to him.
Cop asks a few 'cop questions' such as 'where are you coming from/going to'.
Cop, for whatever reason, isn't entirely satisfied. Maybe the suspect seems jittery or the suspect is a wiseass, or tells the cop he's going shoe shopping for his daughter, or to see a movie. Doesn't matter.
Cop decides he's going to get out of his patrol car, search suspect, get ID.
Cop SHOULD have told suspect not to move and to keep his hands where they can be seen.
Suspect knows once Cop finds his weapon he's going to be detained and possibly arrested.
Cop, as he is exiting his vehicle, doesn't keep constant attention on suspect allowing suspect to get the drop on him.
Cop gets no further than the front fender of his vehicle when suspect unloads on him from less than 10 feet away.
Poor dumb cop.

I'm quoting myself now since I found the photo though I'm unaware of how to post it in this moment.
It's very much as I remember it, you just have to paint the wounds on your body, place yourself in front of a mirror, step one step forward with your right foot and raise your right arm to shoot.
You will now see how close together the shots are, two in a vertical line and one a little bit to the right ... It seems to be a matter very of perspective.
Definitely excellent shooting

Please explain how Tippit (driving east on 10th) could be tailing a man who was walking towards him in a westerly direction. I can't wait to hear this one.
Markham testified that the man was walking away from her. This would have the man walking east along 10th.

Oooops...My mistake... Scoggins ... "I couldn't exactly say whether he was going west or was in the process of turning around, but he was facing west when I saw him."
And Helen Markham said that the man that Tippit was tailing was walking west. east.....Which makes the idea that the man was Lee Oswald even more absurd.
