LOL! Of course not. And his repeated use of the singular pronoun "it", makes it pretty clear, how many shots he heard then.
Perhaps you are being confused by this sentence,
"I heard the shot hit something, and I assumed again--it never entered my mind that it ever hit anybody but the President."
...If Connally thought he heard two shots then, don't you think he would have said so?
All of the above is just one long straw man argument. I never said Connally heard two shots at the very end -- that's something you just invented to prolong the discussion. I said he heard two sounds at the very end -- one shot and one impact on the head.
Really, how do you expect to be able to rebut my claims if you can't understand my claims and even repeat them back to me accurately?

That's exactly what I said. What confused you about these remarks?

Did Connally remember two sounds at the end, the sound of the rifle shot and the sound of the impact?
Connally said he heard both the shot and the impact ...
That's not [Connally] saying he heard both the shot, and the impact of the shot?
Curiously, imbedded in your post, you also admit the very point I've been arguing for, and you've been arguing against:

JACKPOT. Yes, we have a winner!
Connally heard, in addition to one earlier shot, a final shot, and ALSO the impact of that final shot.
YOU JUST ADMITTED IT.
That's what I said originally, and what you originally argued he never said anything remotely like that. Forget your arguments? I don't. I sometimes just have to pick my spots.

Governor CONNALLY. ... and then, of course, the third shot sounded, and I heard the shot very clearly. I heard it hit him. I heard the shot hit something, and I assumed again--it never entered my mind that it ever hit anybody but the President. I heard it hit. It was a very loud noise,just that audible, very clear.

Connally heard two shots, and the impact of the final shot.
Exactly what Hill described.
Exactly what Kellerman was describing.
Those final two sounds are what many witnesses are talking about when they say the final two shots were "bunched", "on top of each other", "simultaneous", etc. One shot and one sound of impact, which you admit above is what Connally testified to (two sounds, closely bunched).
If there was a shot shortly before that (at about Z285), those witnesses should have described three sounds, two bunched shots and the sound of the Impact, or three closely bunched shots. Connally didn't, Clint Hill didn't, Kellerman didn't, Mrs. Kennedy didn't, Greer didn't.
Robert, exactly what witnesses did describe three sounds bunched at the end?
