It's been over two centuries since a sitting Vice President shot somebody. |
|
July 11, 1804 when the sitting Vice President, Aaron Burr, shot and mortally wounded Alexander Hamilton was the last incident of a sitting Vice President shooting somebody as far as I can find.
Can anybody find a more recent instance of a sitting Vice President shooting somebody?
We live in interesting times.
Now, back to my hidey hole...

3. Other VP's have shot at people - before they were VP's |
|
Bush Sr. was probably the most recent (WW-2). Not sure about the combat records of others since Truman (WW-1).

9. Burr meant to shoot Hamilton though. |
|
This seems to be an accident.
