This is from the WARREN REPORT not a Conspiracy book.
“Mr Ball :
Where was the direction of the sound?
Mr Lovelady :
Right there around that concrete little deal on that knoll.”

I think people familiar with this case already knew you have a number of witnesses who heard something, you have a number of witnesses who say they saw a puff of smoke from areas other than the Texas Schoolbook Depository.
From Pro-Warren Report website McAdams:

HSCA meaning House Select Committee on Assassinations pie chart on that page.
There is a pie chart like this for the Warren Report which I don’t know where it is. I believe it had more people who thought they heard something from the Grassy Knoll area.
“Mr. BALL - Did you see any activity in this high ground above Elm after the shot?
Mr. BOWERS - At the time of the shooting there seemed to be some commotion,”

There is plenty to read in the 24 volumes of the Warren Report.
Commotion. I would think an assassination would warrant a bit more than a commotion.
Our local 24-hour news station had a special where it aired the actual news coverage from a sister station in Dallas. Started off with the coverage of the plane landing and the meet and greet.
Then it had some fashion talk show that was interrupted for the news that the president had been shot. And they had a family there sitting at a table. Mom, dad, and two young kids (the “Newmans” is a guess at what I remember).
Anyway, the man was quite clear that the shots came from what later became known as the “grassy knoll”.
And what he said next was odd. IIRC it was something like:
“Well, and lots of people ran up there - so I hope they catch this guy. And don’t kill him, so then we know about what is going on.”
At first when he started to say “not kill him” I thought it might be because of some Christian/forgiveness, etc. feelings the guy had. But then he talks about “knowing what is going on”.

Here is a link to the first half hour of the coverage. Starts off with a speech by Kennedy, then the plane landing, then the News Bulletin.
I found it interesting how much coverage his coming to Dallas got. But I suppose it was a combination of airplanes and TV’s being still fairly new??? (Obama comes into our town and it gets a minute on the evening news).
