One of the most infamous shootouts of the Wild West took place in Tombstone, Arizona on October 26, 1881. On that chilly afternoon, a simmering dispute between the cattle-rustling Clanton-McLaury gang and the three Earp brothers and their friend Doc Holliday erupted into a wild gunfight behind the O.K. Corral.
Within 30 seconds, close to 30 shots were fired, all at close range. When the smoke cleared, three of the five members of the Clanton-McLaury gang were dead, and two of the Earp brothers and Doc Holliday had been shot but were still alive. The Gunfight at O.K. Corral has become an enduring symbol of the lawlessness of the old West, and today, tourists flock to Tombstone for reenactments of the famous gun battle.
