FORT SUMNER – Did Billy have a gun?
July 14 marked the 140th anniversary of the night Lincoln County Sheriff Pat Garrett killed outlaw Billy the Kid in a darkened room of a house in Old Fort Sumner, New Mexico.
That’s a fact. Never mind what you saw in the “Young Guns II” movie, most reputable historians and researchers agree that Garrett shot the Kid to death that night. What some doubt, however, is that the Kid was carrying a gun at the time, as Garrett and others on the scene reported.
