As you know, if you are a reader of "Lancer; Hero of the West" you know that our hero lives and works out of Tombstone, Arizona. The Tombstone of the 1880's and the Tombstone famous for the Gunfight at the OK Coral.
This past week something happened in historic Tombstone when a re-enactor shot a colleague with a real weapon. They were re-enacting the famous battle between the Earps, Doc Holiday and the Cowboys of the Clanton gang when a shot was fired. The blanks which were supposed to be in the gun, were not. Real bullets were.
The VIDEO tells the tale the best so far.
It does not tell why the shooter had real bullets in his gun in the first place and if the two men had a history. Not like this hasn't happened before. Brandon Lee, son of Bruce Lee, was killed on the movie set of The Crow when the wrong thing happened during fictional gun play.
What we can say about Lancer is violence is his last option. The gun only gets used as a last resort. He lives in Tombstone and is a very careful man. This would never have happened to Lancer. And if he had used the gun as a last resort, he is always a deadly shot.
