What Caused the Gunfight at O.K Corral? Recommended by Evan o’ Earthy

The Earp Brothers, Wyatt Earp, Virgil Earp, Morgan Earp, James Earp, and Warren Earp made up this rowdy band of Brothers and the Three Brothers. Wyatt, Virgil, and Morgan Earp made a role in the gunfight. These were the Earps of law and order with Virgil working as a Town Marshall, Morgan serving at a police department, and Wyatt being a former cop who was turned into a security guard.

Many viewed them as protectors and defenders others believed that they were corrupt and dangerous but they were not as provocative as their friend Doc Holliday, Doc was a wanderer and avid gambler for he started as a well-educated Doctor. And He became particularly close with Wyatt before moving with him to Tombstone, Arizona. It was there where they ran into the Clantons, Mclaurys, Billy Claiborne, Ike, Billy Clanton, Frank, and Tom Mclaury. we're all part of organized outlaws known as "The Cowboys".

- "The Incident" -

So when Ike and Tom came into town on October 25th, it came as no surprise that they would have a run-in with the Earp Brothers. It delighted Doc Holliday in particular that one of these clashes ended with the outlaws being pistol-whipped by the Earps and when both Billy and Frank showed up the next afternoon. Holliday wasted no time informing how their brothers were humiliated, upon hearing Doc's proudly smug tale. Both Mclaury and Clanton stormed out of the saloon and valiantly swore to humiliate the Earp Brothers.

Though the Cowboys have forgotten about their promise and instead could be found with the Pistol-whipped in the remainder of the gang and an empty lot near the saloon, Holliday seemed Hell-bent on having some fun. Having rejoined the Earp Brothers, Doc eventually found the outlaws at around 3 PM and that same day for the next 30 seconds, 30 shots will be fired.

It is unknown who could have pulled the trigger first but it was generally believed that both Doc Holliday and Virgil Earp would have the hesitation and likely would have set things off. While Doc used a Shotgun to kill Tom Mclaury and Virgil manage to shoot Billy Clanton at blank range hitting him in the chest with a revolver as Billy Clanton fell from the ground he fired multiple shots and Frank Mclaury didn't go down without a fight either despite getting shot at the stomach by Wyatt Earp. During all of this, Ike and Billy Claiborne bravely ran away! Ike as the courageous man was left not only his cowboys but his brother to die.

Half a Minute after the shooting both Mclaury Brothers were deceased while the Earpson Holliday was left uninjured Virgil and Morgan got shot and Doc was grazed by a Bullet. .

No efforts what so ever in the drawing, I just speed drawing.
