Guys would you stop posting personal facts, there's a thread for that.

Fun Fact) President McKinley was shot on September 6, 1901 and died eight days later.

Fun Fact) McKinley was known as the fastest political hand shaker, but this caused him to be shot as he wasn't paying attention to the assassin who was right in front of him.

Fun Fact) McKinley's secret service were on the lookout, looking at the line, for any possible people who may be threats. They only payed attention to the only black man in the line who later tackled the assassin to the ground and found out to be a Chief Sheriff of the local county.

Fun Fact) There was a family before the assassin in line, who shook hands with McKinley, in that family there was a little girl. McKinley squatted down and gave her what he called his lucky carnation flower, just before he was shot.

Fun Fact) The surgeons had a bit of a problem getting the bullet out of McKinley, one, he was rather obese, and two, the gel like material they used was so flammable that they have to turn off the lights, open a window a bit, and use a tea tray to reflect the light for the surgeons to see.
