who fired the first shot at the ok corral
Gunfight at the O.K. Corral Who started shooting first is not certain; accounts by both participants and eyewitnesses are contradictory.[103] The smoke from the black powder used in the weapons added to the confusion of the gunfight in the narrow space.[86] Those loyal to one side or the other told conflicting stories, and independent eyewitnesses who did not know the participants by sight were unable to say for certain who shot first. The six or seven men with guns fired about 30 shots in around 30 seconds.[2][24]:230
