Wild bill, being a gambler, gunfighter and ex-lawman, had made many enemies along the way and always sat where he could see the room and the front door.

McCall slowly crept around to the corner of the saloon where Hickok was playing his game. McCall pulled a double-action .45 pistol from under his coat and shouted  "Take that!" and shot Wild Bill Hickok in the back of the head, killing him instantly. Hickok, now slumped over the table with a bullet hole in the back of his head, had been holding a pair of eights, and a pair of Aces. The news and the manner of Hickoks death quickly spread and the poker hand he was holding has ever since been known as the " Dead Mans Hand ". Jack McCall was tried twice for the shooting.
