 58-year-old 25th President of the United States William McKinley is shot twice in the abdomen with a .32-caliber Iver Johnson revolver by Polish anarchist Leon Czolgosz in Temple of Music, Pan-American Exposition, Buffalo, New York, United States. McKinley died eight days later on 14 September of gangrene caused by the gunshot wounds. "It was in my heart, there was no escape for me. I could not have conquered it had my life been at stake. There were thousands of people in town on Tuesday. I heard it was President's Day. All those people seemed bowing to the great ruler. I made up my mind to kill that ruler."
