查尔斯古提奥 (Charles J. Guiteau) 于188172日对加菲尔总统 (President Garfield) 开枪

总统遭到枪击,但是他还没有死亡。不会,要杀死加菲尔总统需要更多的「脏手」。古提奥是一个有长久心智疾病病史的律师,他在188172日朝加斐尔总统的背部开枪,他认为是上帝叫他射杀总统的。他也认为他已经杀死总统了,但是事实上并不是他射出去的那颗子弹杀死的。


The president's been shot, but he's not dead...yet. No, it would take much dirtier hands than Charles J. Guiteau's to kill President Garfield. When Guiteau, a lawyer with a history of mental illness, shot Garfield in the back on July 2, 1881, he thought God had told him to shoot the president. He also thought he had killed the president, but it wasn't the bullet that did the job.
