How are shell casings left behind at officer Tippits' murder when Oswald was firing a revolver?

Maybe he dumped the shells (a stupid move for any assasin) but then again looking at the facts he had a .38 Special Smith and Weston Model 10 that he bought along with the Caracano that was used in the attempt on General Walkers life a few years before JFK assasination. The Model 10 holds 6 rounds in the cylinder, he fired four. So that's saying that he hand ejected four shells left 2 live rounds in and started to reload. To keep in mind Lee H. Oswald was an ex Marine, so he would have been trained to keep a fully loaded sidearm, maybe as he remembered his training started to reload fearing that that other officers were near by and another firefight would insue, as he was reloading perhaps he panicked and ran ( there are reports of a man running at top pin with a revolver in hand) he was found with the weapon in his possesion. A funny fact he was a terrible shot in the Marines, he missed the General from 100 yards.

∙ 11y agoBecause the shell casing were from a 38 Auto, not from a revolver. Oswald did not kill JD Tippit. The killer of JD Tippit was CIA assassin David Morales. Both the rifle and the guns alleged to Oswald are CIA plants. The picture of Oswald in the back yard holding a rifle and a handgun at his waist is really a picture of Roscoe White, who was both a DPD officer & CIA assassin.

Who was JKF?
It appears that the question refers to the assassinated US President, John Fitzgerald Kennedy (JFK ) Kennedy was the 35th US President. He won the 1960 presidential election by successfully winning the contest with the Vice President Rchard M. Nixon under President Eisenhower for 8 years. In Dallas on November 22, 1963, JFK was assassinated. A Federal Commision investigated the killing and came to the conclusion that one individual acting alone, namely Lee Harvey Oswald was the killer. Reportedly he hated JFK. To his luck, he found out that the man he hated was going to ride right past the place where he worked. ( luck my butt ) The odds of that happening are quite small. No sharpshooter was able to duplicate firing 3 shots with a ww2 rifle at a moving target and hitting the target. Another piece of "luck" was that a low life Mafia associated Dallas man felt so terrible over JFK's death and hated Oswald so much, he killed Oswald right in the Dallas Police force garage as Oswald was being transported to jail. The man later died in prison from cancer. Case closed as Oswald never went to trial.
