Another Crucial Witness in Dealey Plaza
The response and testimony of the people in Dealey Plaza are very crucial to gaining an understanding of what was happening in the JFK Assassination. Their details and encounters help put the pieces of the puzzle together. One of these very important witnesses is Malcolm Summers.
At the time of the assassination, Malcolm was developing a parcel delivery business and had a small office in the south area of Dealey Plaza. Around 12:30 am, He walked over to Elm street to view the motorcade. He can be seen on the Zapruder film as he jumped to the ground once the shooting started. Immediately after the chaos, he ran to the north side of Elm. This was typical with many of the witnesses in the area. It seemed everybody ran to the grassy knoll thinking the shots came from behind the fence. When Malcolm arrived, he was stopped by a man with an overcoat draped over his arm. Under the coat was the barrel of a gun. The man said “don’t come up here or you could get shot.” Malcolm decided to retreat and headed back out of the area.
Malcolm walked thru this account several times over the years and was very consistent in his testimony. Shortly before he passed away, he made a formal statement for CSPAN which you can find on YOUTUBE. This account further indicates that some type of support team was in place to run interference. In his testimony, he also talks about the spacing of the shots which rules out a single bolt action rifle.
