No one in the Bonus Army was shot or killed in the eviction.

A baby died of tear gas.

Not true. Two vets were shot and one died. They probably were wise not to fight back too hard against infantry, cavalry and six tanks.

Bonus Army

On July 28, U.S. Attorney General William D. Mitchell ordered the veterans removed from all government property. Washington police met with resistance, shots were fired and two veterans were wounded and later died. Veterans were also shot dead at other locations during the demonstration.
