It might have been a response to all the hacking and impaling going on.

Or was this thing called life just too much for him?

an archaeologist who found the remains near Lima, Peru.

An archaeologist who doesn't even know history. The Spaniards shoot plenty of people in Mexico long before they got to Peru.

Cortez was massacring Aztecs in 1520, so this Incan from 1536 is probably not the first gun victim in the western hemishere.

But, hey, catchy headlines are cool. And as Dan Rather's producer says -- it's up to the public to figure out if the news is true or false.

If I had that last name, the day I turned 18 I would change it.

Was it an assault musket?

I'm guessing he was cleaning the musket, and it just went off...

>>The skull was found among a large group of bones of ancient Incas, who had died violently in the early 1500s as the Spanish Conquistadors battled the native empire.

The bones were in shallow graves, leading the archaeologist to speculate the burials were done hurriedly during conflict, perhaps an uprising against the Spanish in 1536. <<

The Spanish had guns but didn’t shoot anybody in Europe? That seems odd...

...first gunshot victim in the Western Hemisphere.

Claiming it is easy. Proving it, not so easy. Let's just say it was the first discovered for that time period.

More than likely, the first victim bit the dust, turned to dust, and will forever rest in the dustbin of history.
