The first bullet struck Charles McCarty's back, knocking him to the ground. The metal lodged in flesh under his right shoulder blade. McCarty took a second bullet in the back of the head not far from his right ear. WC Rawlinson stood above him emptying his pistol, but missing every time, except for a shot through the calf of McCarty’s left leg. Seven witnesses saw it all. McCarty died from his injuries that afternoon.

(Charles McCarty was raised in Kaukauna, WI.)
