Real bullets were fired at a Wild West shootout re-enactment in South Dakota that sent a South Connellsville optometrist, John Ellis, and two others to the hospital with gunshot-related injuries.
Investigators found live .45-caliber rounds and spent shells at the Dakota Wild Bunch Reinactors’ June 17 show in Hill City, S.D., said Pennington County Sheriff Kevin Thom.
The rounds were fired by re-enactor Paul Doering, 49, of Somerset, S.D., Sheriff Thom said.
