[SML] Tombstone actor shot when live rounds fired during mock gunfight

[Chip Wood]

I was there in 1975 and again 2 years ago.  Staged much differently.  In 
'75 everything was staged by re-inactors totally on the street and 
free.  Amateur acting and crude tech but local guys having fun for the 
tourists.  Two years ago it was full time actors  w/ slick tech as a 
come-on for a finale that you paid for inside an enclosure - the "OK 
Corral" . Should have had a gun wrangler and bullet proof weapons esp as 
they were pros getting paid.
