Origins[]

Lee Harvey Oswald was the gunman who, on November 22 1963, shot and killed the United States president John F. Kennedy. This made Kennedy the fourth president to be assassinated while in office and made Oswald one of America's most reviled criminals.

Due to the high-profile nature of the event, several conspiracy theories have emerged. These range from CIA cover-ups to more absurd notions such as demonic possesion. One in particular postulates the theory of multiple gunmen being present due to several consectutive gunshots heard at the time.

The true origins of the artifact are unknown, as it clearly had artifact qualities when it was in Oswald's hands. Possible theories include Lee discovering the artifact and using it or, more likely, it became an artifact the second the attempt was made on President Kennedy's life.
