JFK was shot once in the head and once in the neck. According to http://mcadams.posc.mu.edu, the nature of Kennedy’s head wound has been a matter of continuing controversy. But some blood, brain matter, and pieces of skull may have exploded from his head. And apparently, John Kennedy’s brain is missing from the National archives. The missing brain was investigated by the House Select Committee on Assassinations (you can see the report here: http://mcadams.posc.mu.edu/brain.txt ). It is hard to separate what actually happened from conspiracy theories but for more info, see the sources below.

Here is a picture of the skull with the brain removed: http://mcadams.posc.mu.edu/head.jpg

Here's a rendering of what the head wound might have looked like (according to House Select Committee)
