Way too much missing information to even guess what really happened here.
Why is there so much secrecy on what actually happened. I get it that one was killed and one wounded. But exactly what happened? Might it have been safer to have been handling a real gun, instead of a prop gun?
They used a picture of the wrong pistol. Word is the actual gun was a SAA, not the Dragoon pictured here.
Only off by 30 years or so.
