On November 27, 1978, Former San Fransisco Supervisor, Dan White, snuck into San Fransisco City Hall and shot and killed Mayor George Moscone. White casually walked down the hall. During his walk, he bumped into Supervisor Harvey Milk. Milk was a advocate for the LGBT community in San Fransisco and was an openly gay man himself. White asked Milk to "talk". They both entered a small room, where White shot at Milk multiple times . The first three shots were non-fatal, the last 3 were right to the head.
