Our last view of Brennan is in Z207, 11 frames or 0.6 sec before Oswald's shot-2 at Z218.  Brennan has yet to look up at Oswald.  I think that Brennan looks up at Oswald soon after Z218 & before Hickey fires at Z313.  I think that Brennan looks up at say Z228, watches Oswald aiming, & then Oswald stands up at say Z268, & Brennan jumps off the wall at say Z290 & is running & ducking behind the thick part of the wall when Hickey fires at Z300-Z312.  Hence Brennan doesn't hear Hickey's shot(s).

Great. Photoimages is amazingly eezy & fast & simple.  I guess that i will have to go back & re-do all of my pix in all of my postings, one day, gradually.  Thank u & especially Bill Chapman for bringing the problem to my attention.

Brennan's pozzy according to Brennan's testimony at the Warren Commission hearings March 1964, wrong wrong wrong. 
And he  said  that when he jumped down he then found a cop, nope, firstly he hid behind the solid bit of the wall, then later he found a cop.

The westernmost 3/4" or  1" guy rod on the signal arm has got a copper & lead  smear, & has lost some yellow paint, from the impact & ricochet of Oswald's shot-1, about 6" back from the collar, on the westernmost side.

OSWALD'S ACTIONS [& Brennan's actions]. 
[Brennan sees Oswald in the window some minutes before JFK arrives.]
Z002.  Sees JFK approaching along Houston St.   Click…Click (ejects empty casing)(loads bullet).
[Brennan watches JFK along Houston St & turning onto Elm St.]
Z080.  Aims rifle at JFK, turning onto Elm St.
Z112.  Fires.  Slug ricochets off signal arm.
[Brennan hears the shot & thinks it is a backfire or a firecracker, & watches JFK along Elm St.]   
Z122.  Click…Click.
Z152.  Aims.  A tree blocks a clean shot.
Z217.  Fires.  Slug hits JFK & Connally.  The magic bullet.
[Brennan can't see JFK nor the limo beyond Z217, he hears the shot & realizes that it was a rifle shot, he now looks up & sees Oswald aiming a rifle at JFK.]
Z227.  Click…Click.
Z255.  Aims.   Sees that JFK has been hit.  Decides not to shoot (why?). 
Z273.  Stands up & backs away from window, looking at JFK.
[Brennan sees Oswald stand up & back away & look.]
[Brennan jumps off the wall, & ducks behind a solid section of wall 12 ft away & lays on the grass.]
Z313.  Steps further back, still looking, sees Hickey shoot JFK in the head.
[Brennan is laying on grass behind the wall & doesn't hear Hickey's shot(s).]
Z322.  Walks to the stairs or lift, wiping the rifle, & hides it. There is a bullet in the rifle, & Oswald has not bothered to pick up the rifle-bag nor the 3 empty casings near the window.
[Brennan leaves the wall & talks to a cop.  Brennan heard 2 shots & saw none.]


edit july 2021.
I now like the following sequence of actions by Oswald & Brennan, based on Brennan's words.
LHO's are Oswald's actions. [Brennan's actions are in brackets].
The Z numbers are the frame numbers of the Zapruder footage which actually starts at Z133 in the final sequence, running at 18.3 fps.
Z numbers before Z133 are pseudo numbers based on estimates of timings.

Z000 minus a few minutes. [Brennan sees Oswald in the window some minutes before JFK arrives]
Z000 minus a few minutes. [Brennan climbs up & sits on the curved brick wall on the south-west corner of Elm & Houston]
Z002. LHO sees JFK approaching along Houston St.   Click…Click (ejects empty casing)(loads bullet).
Z002. [Brennan watches JFK along Houston St & turning onto Elm St]
Z080. LHO aims rifle at JFK as limo turns onto Elm St.
Z112. LHO fires Shot-1 as the limo straightens.
Z113. The slug ricochets off the overhead signal arm & makes a hole in the floor of the limo (hole found Dec 1963).
Z112. [Brennan hears Shot-1 & thinks it is a backfire or a firecracker][he continues to watch JFK along Elm St]   
Z122. LHO  Click…Click.
Z133.................................... The Zapruder footage 2nd sequence starts at Z133.
Z133. [In the footage we see Brennan sitting on the wall]
Z152. LHO aims. A tree blocks a clean shot.
Z207. [Our last view in the footage of Brennan sitting on the wall][After Z207 Brennan is out of frame]
Z207. [The footage shows that at no time during Z133 to Z207 has Brennan looked up towards Oswald]
Z217. [Brennan's last view of JFK -- koz a shrub now blocks Brennan's view down Elm St]
Z217. LHO fires Shot-2. The slug hits JFK & Connally (the magic bullet).
Z218. [Brennan hears Shot-2 & realizes that it was a rifle]
Z225. [Brennan looks up & sees Oswald aiming a rifle at JFK]
Z227. LHO  Click…Click.
Z255. LHO aims. Sees that JFK has been hit.  Decides not to shoot his last bullet (why?).
