TOMBSTONE, Ariz. (AP) — An actor staging a historical gunfight in the Old West town of Tombstone and a bystander were shot with live rounds during a show that was supposed to use blanks, leading officials to call for the re-enactments popular with tourists to be put on hold.

Apparently one of the reenactors didn't get the memo about using blanks. Still, he should have known better.

What the?!?!
How would anyone make a mistake like that? Especially a paid re-enactor?
This is criminal negligence.

Maybe it wasn’t a mistake. Maybe the Clantons got sick of losing every time!

Sounds like the beginning of a Columbo episode

What moron would even bring live ammo to the same set-up? Yu keep all ammo going into the area under tight controls to keep precisely this from happening?

Good thing a gatling gun wasn’t used at the OK Corral. It would have wiped everyone out.
