Moment Harry Whittington apologises to Dick Cheney after former vice president shot him in face
Resurfaced footage shows the moment Harry Whittington apologised to Dick Cheney after former vice president shot him in face.
The infamous clip re-emerged following the death of the prominent Texas lawyer at age 95 on Saturday, 4 February.
Mr Whittington passed away peacefully at home, his wife Mercedes Baker confirmed to The New York Times.
The accidental shooting occurred on 11 February 2006 when the pair were with a group hunting quail on a south Texas ranch.
When a group of birds took flight, Mr Cheney wheeled around and took a shot, accidentally hitting Whittington in the face and torso.



I mean yeah it was an accident. But the injured guy apologising to Cheney tells you something about how fucked up things are BTS in that crowd.
