Question:

In young guns:the regulators fight someone called "buckshot" who was killed in this shoot out?


Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: "Charlie Bowdre is indicted for Buckshot Robert??s murder"

With all the bullets flying, it is difficult to really say- you know?

April 4, 1878 – Civil War veteran Buckshot Roberts killed by the Regulators at Blazer??s Mill. Brewer is killed, Coe and Billy wounded.

April 18-22, 1878 – Grand Jury exonerates Jimmy Dolan, Evans, Billy Mathews and others indicted in Turnstall??s murder. Regulator Charlie Bowdre is indicted for Buckshot Robert??s murder. The Lincoln County War continues.

Another mistake is Young Gun's reenactment of the gunfight at Blazer's Mill with Buckshot Roberts. This gunfight has too many historical errors to name, but among the most notable mistakes are the way that Buckshot Roberts and Richard Brewer died. For one thing Roberts fortified himself up and died inside of a one story adobe, not an outhouse like the movie shows. Richard Brewer was shot in the head while crouching down behind a pile of logs, not in the body crossing in front of an outhouse. I think it is also important to note that George Coe was the one who received the hand wound from Roberts, not Scurlock. Scurlock had a shot bounce off of his holstered pistol and burn down his leg.
