Through movie magic, Secret Service agent Frank Horrigan (Clint Eastwood)
was made part of JFK's presidential detail on 11/22/63 and was riding the
follow up limo when the shots were fired. He described it as follows:

The description draws heavily from how Clint Hill described it in a 60 Minutes
interview conducted by Mike Wallace. It's nice surprising that Horrigan
remembered that JFK was hit by the first shot because that is how Clint Hill
remembered it. Like Hill, Horrigan was guilt ridden that he didn't react fast
enough.
We'll never know why Hill, like others, didn't remember hearing the first shot
which missed. My own believe is the roar of the motorcycles drown out the
crack of the rifle shot as they accelerated out of the sharp turn onto Elm St.
Connally did hear that first shot an instantly recognized it as a rifle shot and
was looking around to see what was happening when he was struck by the
second shot which had passed through JFK.
