HAMPTON, Thomas shoots himself - 1880 - Putnam

Thomas Hampton of Coatsville while under the influence of whiskey drew his revolver and shot among some little boys who were standing some distance from him, fortunately miss them.  Then he shot at a passing train but a by-stander struck his arm and the ball passed above the car.  After that he attempted to put his revolver in his pocket and accidentally shot himself, the ball taking effect in his side, making an ugly wound from which he is now in critical condition.   – kbz
