A new video has surfaced that shows the moments after John F Kennedy was shot in 1963. It will be auctioned later this month. The footage shows the president’s motorcade racing down a Dallas freeway toward a hospital. The footage was shot by Dale Timmerman Sr. who reached Lemmon Avenue in Dallas hoping to film Kennedy and his motorcade. But when he arrived, the motorcade had already passed. Carpenter sped to Stemmons Freeway, and by that time Kennedy had been shot. The footage remained a family heirloom. When Carpenter died in 1991, the reel went to his wife, then to his daughter, and finally to his grandson.

What we know about the images
According to RR Auction, where the film is being offered for sale, this is the only known film of Kennedy’s car on the highway.
The footage shot by Abraham Zapruder, a bystander, was the one that provided details of the assassination. This new footage shows what happened before and just after the Zapruder film was shot.
It takes over a minute and contains nothing that will change what we already know.
So far, only a handful of people outside Carpenter’s family have seen the footage.
Clint Hill, the Secret Service agent who jumped out of a car behind Kennedy’s and then climbed into the president’s car, also saw the footage.
According to James Gates, Carpenter’s grandson, the film wasn’t talked about much in the family, even though everyone knew about it.
Gates said he came into possession of the film in 2009 or 2010 when his mother gave him a case of milk containing about 30 reels of film, including this one. When he first saw the footage of Kennedy, he was disappointed that Kennedy wasn’t in it, but he was impressed by Hill’s courage.
Kennedy is not seen in the video because he was lying in the backseat with his head on his wife’s lap
