Mav got it right, even the spelling

"This rifle became of international interest when President John F Kennedy, 35th President of the United States, was assassinated on 22 November 1963. An example of the Carcano was originally presumed to have been used by the assassin since one was found nearby, but later detail investigations have thrown doubt on this."
Why? If it was found near the site, then would'nt it be that one. How many italian ww2 bolt action rifles you see lying around?
