One of the counter snipers on the Hercules 2 team told the committee that after hearing shots fired, he thought that his partner was hit, “due to the proximity of these whip-like cracks.”
After the shooting, the sniper said he “asked my partner how close he thought the rounds were to our left, and he looked at me and said, ‘I heard them on my right.’ And the[re] were approximately six feet between him and I when we were on the rooftop at the main site.”
Sen. Johnson, who is the top Republican on the committee’s Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations that has helped lead the probe, said the testimony from the sniper suggesting a bullet passed between him and his partner when the tree line allegedly obstructed them from Crooks’ position on the AGR building is confusing.
“They couldn’t see Crooks. Crooks couldn’t see him. So how did a bullet pass between the two of them?” he told The Times.
“How do you verify it? How do you prove it?” Mr. Johnson said. “I don’t know, but it’s why we need the FBI’s trajectory [analysis] accounting for all the bullets. I don’t know how you explain that one.”
