william mckinley, 25th president of the united states, was shot at point-blank range by an anarchist on 6 september 1901, when he was greeting people at a reception in buffalo.
the president's first thoughts were for the safety of his assailant, who was being mauled by witnesses, and of his wife, who suffered from severe seizures.
"my wife," he gasped, "be careful how you tell her." with that, he was rushed to hospital, where he held on for several days. his wife eventually visited his bedside. "i want to go too," she sobbed. replied mckinley : "we are all going." these words proved to be his last.
